Acerca de esta escucha
Napoleon Bonaparte was a man of unique distinction, the kind that only comes once every few centuries. In fact, he was so unique that his lasting legacy is still debated to this very day.
This audiobook provides a concise and proper portrait of Napoleon Bonaparte's character and career. Napoleon as he was - not saint, not sinner, but a man dedicated to and ultimately devoured by his vision of himself, his empire, and his world. In the aftermath of the French Revolution, France was in a state of division and anarchy and in desperate need of a leader.
This audiobook endeavors to examine his entire life and the history that has made him such a compelling figure in the nearly 200 years since his death and balance the different aspects of his character. It also presents the true stories and struggles faced by Napoleon Bonaparte.
The lens of historical retrospect is a powerful one, and it has created varying viewpoints of many historical figures. But perhaps there has never been a legacy quite as eclectic as Napoleon’s. Napoleon could write lengthy treatises on the rights of man while holding his own in firefights that mowed down millions.
This is what you will discover inside:
- Napoleon at artillery school
- Setting out to conquer the world
- Napoleon’s Middle Eastern odyssey
- The Napoleonic code
- Napoleon’s showdown with Britain
- Conquering continental Europe
- Facing million-to-one odds
- Napoleon’s home defense
- The last days of Napoleon Bonaparte
When it comes to determining the character of Napoleon Bonaparte, no matter what you may have heard or read, you really have to decide for yourself. If you’re looking for his strategy in warfare, works on his political maneuverings, or fictionalized takes on his life, this audiobook allows you to do that.

The Mongol army led by Genghis Khan subjugated more lands and people in 25 years than the Romans did in 400. In nearly every country the Mongols conquered, they brought an unprecedented rise in cultural communication, expanded trade, and a blossoming of civilization.

The Napoleonic Wars saw fighting on an unprecedented scale in Europe and the Americas. It took the wealth of the British Empire, combined with the might of the continental armies, almost two decades to bring down one of the world's greatest military leaders and the empire that he had created. Napoleon's ultimate defeat was to determine the history of Europe for almost 100 years. From the frozen wastelands of Russia, through the brutal fighting in the Peninsula to the blood-soaked battlefield of Waterloo, this book tells the story of the dramatic rise and fall of the Napoleonic Empire.

Alexander was born into the royal family of Macedonia, the kingdom that would soon rule over Greece. Tutored as a boy by Aristotle, Alexander had an inquisitive mind that would serve him well when he faced formidable obstacles during his military campaigns. Shortly after taking command of the army, he launched an invasion of the Persian Empire, and continued his conquests as far south as the deserts of Egypt and as far east as the mountains of present-day Pakistan and the plains of India.

Andrew Roberts' 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.

Poorly written.
The author writes in a novice manner, leading the listener to feel as though it was written by a high school or early university student. The reading isn’t great either, with poor French pronunciation and odd pauses and emphasis throughout. Despite being only about two hours, it’s a tough book to finish.

Reeks of the writer's bias
I got this to learn about Napoleon, not the author's opinions. Waste of money.
