Napoleon a Sketch of His Life, Character, Struggles, and Achievements (Classic Reprint) Hardcover -

From the publisher

Excerpt from Napoleon a Sketch of His Life, Character, Struggles, and Achievements IN this volume the author has made the effort to portray Napoleon as he appears to an average man. Archives have not been rummaged, new sources of information have not been discovered; the author merely claims to have used such authorities, old and new, as are accessible to any diligent student. No attempt has been made to give a full and detailed account of Napoleon's life or work. To do so would have required the labor of a decade, and the result would be almost a library. The author has tried to give to the great Corsican his proper historical position, his true rating as a man and a ruler, together with a just estimate of achievements.
