Summary: "Napoleon Bonaparte took control of France in 1799 at the age of thirty, following a meteoric rise to power and a military coup. It had taken just three years for this former political non-entity to establish himself as a major would leader who would go on to become of the greatest figures in history. Meticulously researched, Citizen Emperor highlights the ruthless methods Napoleon employed to fashion the image of himself as a hero who dragged France back from the edge of the abyss, from concealing his defeats to exaggerating his victories. Brilliantly separating the myth from the history, this outstanding second volume in Philip Dwyer's ambitious biography sheds further light on one of the modern era's most charismatic and able leaders."
