World War II is the defining conflict of the 20th century, one that created a line in the sands of history dividing the pre-war and post-war eras. In this epoch-defining conflict lies another definitive moment: the invasion of a 50-mile stretch of coast in Normandy, France, on June 6, 1944. This battle, also known as D-Day, was the pivot point of the war in Europe. Its success led to a nearly yearlong, bloody campaign that saw the liberation of France, Luxembourg, Belgium, and the Netherlands, followed by the final defeat of Hitler’s Third Reich.

Prosecuting attorney in the Manson trial Vincent Bugliosi held a unique insider's position in one of the most baffling and horrifying cases of the 20th century: the cold-blooded Tate-LaBianca murders carried out by Charles Manson and four of his followers. What motivated Manson in his seemingly mindless selection of victims, and what was his hold over the young women who obeyed his orders? Now available for the first time in unabridged audio, the gripping story of this famous and haunting crime is brought to life by acclaimed narrator Scott Brick.

Story
Millions of words have poured forth about man's trip to the moon, but until now few people have had a sense of the most engrossing side of the adventure: namely, what went on in the minds of the astronauts themselves - in space, on the moon, and even during certain odysseys on earth. It is this, the inner life of the astronauts, that Tom Wolfe describes with his almost uncanny empathetic powers that made The Right Stuff a classic.

Story
The history of the Boston Tea Party is a hidden one. Why? Since it was a clandestine operation, all sorts of rumors and legends grew up around the event—many collected decades after the American Revolution had ended. At its core, however, the night of December 16, 1773, when colonials dumped tea from British ships into Boston Harbor, was more than a fight over tea and taxes. It was a struggle over the very nature of democracy and self-governance.

David Bell emphasizes the astonishing sense of human possibility that Napoleon represented. Bell emphasizes the importance of the French Revolution in understanding Napoleon's career. The revolution made possible the unprecedented concentration of political authority that Napoleon accrued. Without the political changes brought about by the revolution, Napoleon could not have fought his wars. Without the wars, he could not have seized and held onto power. Though his virtual dictatorship betrayed the ideals of liberty and equality, his life and career were revolutionary.

The story of Napoleon has been written many times. In some versions, he is a military genius, in others a war-obsessed tyrant. Here, historian Adam Zamoyski cuts through the mythology and explains Napoleon against the background of the European Enlightenment and what he was himself seeking to achieve. This most famous of men is also the most hidden of men, and Zamoyski dives deeper than any previous biographer to find him. Beautifully written, Napoleon brilliantly sets the man in his European context.

WOW so much information
This book had me. I am not a history buff but this one I really enjoyed, I loved that it really started at the beginning of where his career started and how he moved up the ranks. It was full of information and my favorite part was that at the end of each chapter is a recap to just go over the highlights of that chapter. Great military book.

Hero or Tyrant Duality; Perhaps both!
At the end of each chapter is a recap that helps the listener focus on the highlights.
If you are looking for a great book on his military career and political strategies, this is a great one to choose. I found it to be very balanced.
I really liked the brief information on his educational background and the new scientific knowledge he discovered from his trips to Egypt. Fascinating but very brief. So interesting that the military school he attended was run by religious monks. Why is it, power and religion seem married? Or more often, the Church runs the military campaigns such as the Spanish destruction of the Aztec empire.
The book tries to give an unbiased look at Napoleon. He supported the French Revolution against the monarchs and then he replaced the enemies with himself. Napoleon conquered Europe, built a French Empire, and changed the old structure of power. He reformed the legal system with the Napoleonic Code. He brought warfare into the modern age, and Napoleon’s contributions are still influencing us today. You will find many lessons in this book.
If we define progress as more centralized and organized control systems, then yes, Napoleon was successful. If freedom is what we want, then he was not. Coercion is not freedom, nor can freedom and progress be established by dominance.
My favorite quote from this audiobook is, “Napoleon lived in troubled times when the forces of innovation and change fought against the fading sturdiness of an obsolete system that resisted its decay.” This sounds just like today only we do not have a Napoleon. Maybe we will choose freedom this time.
