Synopsis "life of napoleon bonaparte: giving an account of all his engagements, from the siege of toulon to the battle of waterloo (two volumes in one)"
This rare 1826 work, published within living memory of Napoleon's reign, offers an astonishing firsthand look at the emperor as a leader and as a man. Compiled from numerous sources, include the writings of French generals and other military leaders, this is the joint work of French dramatist ANTOINE-VINCENT ARNAULT (1766-1834), French editor CHARLES LOUIS FLEURY PANCKOUCKE (1780-1844), and British radical WILLIAM HAMILTON REID (1760-1826), and as such is one of the few crosscultural explorations of the man in his own day. Reid, the guiding hand of this intriguing volume, was wildly pro-Napoleon, and this work is considered overly admiring by some. But that quality alone recommends it as one of the most fascinating-if least objective-discussions of Napoleon available to readers today.
