Napoleon - The True Story

PëRMBLEDHJE

New series. Historian Andrew Roberts marks the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo with a three-part series telling the definitive story of Napoleon Bonaparte, the Corsican Army officer who would eventually become the First Consul and later still Emperor of France. Travelling throughout Europe, and making use of some of the ill-fated dictator's personal letters, Andrew highlights Napoleon's early military successes in Italy and Egypt, as well as his role in pacifying anti-revolutionary activists in Paris during the 1790s, and his role as a progressive moderniser in the early years of his dictatorship.
