Military Career of Napoleon the Great - An Account of the Remarkable Campaigns of the "Man of Destiny" - Paperback

by Montgomery B. Gibbs (Author)

This book tells the story of the man who personally commanded his army in 600 skirmishes, and 85 pitched battles, resigning at last his leadership on the field of Waterloo, a victim of treachery and incompetency exceeding even his own well-grounded fears. But even after these years of constant warfare and conquest, after maintaining huge armies in almost all parts of the world, he left France the richest nation in the universe.
