Napoleon Bonaparte
Napoleon Bonaparte, by John S.C. Abbott, is a classic Napoleon biography and among the most definitive accounts of the life of the great French emperor and military leader. Napol on Bonaparte (15 August 1769 - 5 May 1821) was a French statesman and military leader who rose to prominence during the French Revolution and led several successful campaigns during the French Revolutionary Wars. As Napoleon, he was Emperor of the French from 1804 until 1814, and again briefly in 1815 during the Hundred Days.
