Napoleon Biography

Rifleman Harris was a soldier in the elite 95th Rifles, one of Britains most prestigous infantry units during the Napoleonic wars. In this memoir, Harris relates his experiences in Denmark, the Peninsular, and at Walcheren. This is no history of grand plans and movements controlled by the lofty generals. Rather this relates the tale of a front line soldier who's concerns run much more with keeping shoes on his feet, a shirt on his back and, most importantly, food in his belly. Among other details, this book relates the horrors of the retreat to Corruna and the even more disasterous Walcheren expedition where an entire army was struck down by pestilence.

Dans les dernières années de sa vie, Napoléon a dicté ses Mémoires. Conscient du caractère exceptionnel de son destin, il ne voulait laisser à personne le soin de le raconter ou de l’interpréter. Et dans cette bataille pour la postérité, il a, comme de coutume, tout organisé, tout contrôlé, tout décidé, à la tête d’une véritable fabrique de l’histoire. La Campagne d’Italie (1796-1797) fut un événement majeur des guerres révolutionnaires, par ses aspects militaires comme politiques.

Octave Aubry relate, entre roman et histoire, cette flamboyante idylle, qui, malgré ses aléas, ne s'éteignit jamais tout à fait. Celle qui se fera appeler Joséphine est née Marie-Joseph-Rose de Tascher en 1763 sur l'île de la Martinique. Lorsqu'elle rencontre Napoléon, il n'est encore que général, et de 6 ans son cadet.

The first emperor of France and one of the shrewdest military leaders of all time, Napoleon Bonaparte (1769 - 1821) eventually came to control much of Europe. In Simply Napoleon, authors J. David Markham and Matthew Zarzeczny tell Napoleon's story, from his birth on the island of Corsica to his eventual imprisonment and death on the island of Saint Helena. They explain how the famed military commander's unique combination of determination, intellect, and personal charisma allowed him to rise from a provincial village to become a powerful and authoritative ruler. While taking an overall positive view of Napoleon, Markham and Zarzeczny also make it a point to draw attention to his mistakes and their consequences, providing a balanced picture of this complicated figure who was both a product of his times and a man pointing the way to the future.

In 1917, a band of communist revolutionaries stormed the Winter Palace of Tsar Nicholas II - a dramatic and explosive act marking that Vladimir Lenin’s communist revolution was now underway. But Lenin would not be satisfied with overthrowing the Tsar. His goal was a global revolt that would topple all Western capitalist regimes - starting with the British Empire. Russian Roulette tells the spectacular and harrowing story of the British spies in revolutionary Russia and their mission to stop Lenin’s red tide from washing across the free world.

Ambrogio Caiani provides a pioneering account of the tempestuous relationship between the emperor and his most unyielding opponent.
