About this book
Napoleon's rise from artillery officer to ruler of France gives J. G. Lockhart a subject that joins military biography with European political history. Published in 1829, this account follows his education, early service in Corsica, campaigns in Italy and Egypt, and the growth of his authority in France. Its chapter headings place battles alongside treaties, government reforms and the conduct of neighbouring courts, showing how military success and political power became closely connected.
The discussion of Spain brings that connection into focus. Napoleon's continental system meets resistance from trade interests, while rival factions at the Spanish court seek French support. Elsewhere, Lockhart describes his attention to local administration and the steady demands of governing.
