Thank heavens Englund focuses on the political, rather than the military or personal, aspects of Napoleon's notorious and celebrated life, thus providing the reader with an interesting counterpoint to Paul Schroeder's inexorably corruscating treatment of Napoleon in his Transformation of European Politics 1763-1848.ĭistinguished by its use of French rather than English-language sources, this work is an academically wolfish book arrayed in sheep's clothing for the general public, and as such it will take debate on Napoleon's political impact on the 19th and 20th centuries into the drawing rooms of the Anglophone world. This in-depth biography is an interesting new analysis of modern history's most famous general and statesman.
