Simply Napoleon — Print + Ebook

The soldier who became an emperor and changed Europe forever.

Napoleon Bonaparte rose from a relatively obscure Corsican family to become emperor of France and one of the most powerful figures in European history. In Simply Napoleon, historians J. David Markham and Matthew D. Zarzeczny offer an accessible introduction to the man behind the legend, from the battlefields of Italy and Egypt to Austerlitz, Moscow, Waterloo, and his final exile on Saint Helena. They also look beyond the battlefield, exploring the Napoleonic Code, his reshaping of government and education, and his relationship with Josephine.

• An accessible introduction to Napoleon’s life, career, and legacy
• Explores his major military campaigns, victories, and eventual defeat
• Covers the Napoleonic Code and his lasting influence on government and law
