About this book

Napoleon: A Life is Andrew Roberts's biography of Napoleon Bonaparte, published in 2014. In Britain it appeared as Napoleon the Great. Roberts tries to capture Napoleon's physical and intellectual energy and the force of his personality, which impressed even his enemies, and he argues against several long-held opinions about the man.

The book won the 2015 Los Angeles Times Book Prize for biography. It follows Napoleon from his Corsican childhood through his rise, the wars across Europe and the years of exile, in a single large volume.

About the author

Andrew Roberts - BDeBooks
Andrew Roberts

Roberts writes long single-volume lives of people he plainly admires, which reviewers treat as either the strength or the weakness of the method. Napoleon: A Life drew on the emperor's own correspondence, some thirty-three thousand letters published shortly beforehand, and took the Grand Prix of the Fondation Napoleon.
