The definitive biography of the great soldier-statesman by the New York Times bestselling author of The Storm of War—winner of the Grand Prix of the Fondation Napoleon 2014

Austerlitz, Borodino, Waterloo: his battles are among the greatest in history, but Napoleon Bonaparte was far more than a military genius and astute leader of men. Like George Washington and his own hero Julius Caesar, he was one of the greatest soldier-statesmen of all times.

Andrew Roberts’s Napoleon is the first one-volume biography to take advantage of the recent publication of Napoleon’s thirty-three thousand letters, which radically transform our understanding of his character and motivation. At last we see him as he was: protean multitasker, decisive, surprisingly willing to forgive his enemies and his errant wife Josephine. Like Churchill, he understood the strategic importance of telling his own story, and his memoirs, dictated from exile on St. Helena, became the single bestselling book of the nineteenth century.

An award-winning historian, Roberts traveled to fifty-three of Napoleon’s sixty battle sites, discovered crucial new documents in archives, and even made the long trip by boat to St. Helena. He is as acute in his understanding of politics as he is of military history. Here at last is a biography worthy of its subject: magisterial, insightful, beautifully written, by one of our foremost historians.

之前看紐約時報跟經濟學人在介紹這本時，就有密切觀察，雖然之前讀過路德維希那本常常被翻印再版的《拿破崙傳》，不過它的內容頂多就是私人生活加八卦史；另外一本時代文藝的《拿破崙：文治與武功》則正如其副標題，只專講其事業，不分析個人。Andrew Roberts的這大部頭，算是...  

首先说说作为国王的拿破仑吧。 拿破仑首先是一个老兵，其次才是一个国王，他会亲自站在前线。他不仅有陆战上的军事知识和实践经验，同时还有超过同时代绝大多数将帅的战术天分。因此相较于同时代那些远离炮火的君王们，他在战争方面的优势是碾压级别的。 但是他对海权一窍不通...
