About this book

Written by Napoleon's private secretary and boyhood friend, these memoirs offer an intimate, insider's account of the emperor's astonishing rise and fall, from the young officer to the master of Europe and finally the exile of St. Helena. Bourrienne, who worked at Napoleon's side for years, records private conversations, personal habits, and the great events he witnessed firsthand. Though colored by their author's own perspective, the memoirs remain a fascinating and much-quoted source on one of history's most extraordinary figures. Vivid and richly detailed, they bring the drama of the Napoleonic age and its central genius compellingly close.
