Synopsis
A giant of his age, Napoleon was a military genius who, between 1799 and 1814, established an empire that spread across Europe. One of the greatest warrior-conquerors in history, he was also a ruthless dictator who suppressed all opposition. Paradoxically, his wide-ranging legal and administrative reforms promoted liberalism and democracy, while his military conquests ultimately encouraged national unification movements. Napoleon's influence was felt throughout Europe and beyond.This illustrated A - Z encyclopedia provides easy access to information about the emperor Napoleon. Over 300 entries cover significant events, people, and other topics such as the principal Napoleonic campaigns, all the major battles including Waterloo and Austerlitz, Napoleon's most important generals and marshals, Josephine de Beauharnais, and the Napoleonic Code. Napoleon also includes primary source documents, a handy chronology of key events, a bibliography, and an index.
