'When such a comet travels through time we are transported higher into the realms of happiness... Yet are we also plunged into greater depths of gloom when the brilliant light extinguishes?' Napoleon Bonaparte... a human 'comet' who rose to power in a France shattered by years of bloody revolution... a man whose genius and vision made him Emperor of the French Republic, and led to his historic redrawing of Europe's very boundaries. But genius has its price, and Napoleon's would see him sink slowly into solitude and crazed megalomania, finally betrayed by those who loved him most. Sword of France is a compelling story about brilliance and frailty; the nature of heroism and the status of the tragic hero. It is a disturbing reminder that the destiny of the world so often lies in the hands of such leaders.
