"An extremely rich, multidimensional and fresh work . . . This is a
truly magnificent book that deals masterfully with a pivotal
movement in European history." --Literary Review
"The finest biography of Napoleon ever written . . . a wonderful
amalgam of deep knowledge, elegant prose and compelling
argument."--Telegraph
"The scholarship is impressive, the narrative has the pace and
panache appropriate to the subject and there is much that is new,
particularly when Broers probes behind the glitzy façade of
Bonaparte's empire." --The Times, Book of the Week
