Produktbeschreibung

"The Life and Legacy of Napoleon Bonaparte" in 4 volumes is a comprehensive and meticulously written biographical account of the most notable French statesman and military leader. Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) became famous as an artillery commander during the French Revolution. He led many successful campaigns during the French Revolutionary Wars and was Emperor of the French as Napoleon I from 1804 until 1814 and again briefly in 1815 during the Hundred Days. He dominated European and global affairs for more than a decade while leading France against a series of coalitions during the Napoleonic Wars. He won many of these wars and a vast majority of his battles, building a large empire that ruled over much of continental Europe before its final collapse in 1815. Napoleon is considered one of the greatest commanders in history, and his wars and campaigns are studied at military schools worldwide. His political and cultural legacy has made him one of the most celebrated and controversial leaders in human history.

Autorenporträt

William Milligan Sloane (1850-1928) was an eminent American historian and educator whose scholarly focus lay extensively in European history. With a distinguished academic background, Sloane obtained his Ph.D. from the University of Leipzig and went on to contribute significantly to historical scholarship in the United States. His notable work on Napoleonic studies, 'The Life and Legacy of Napoleon Bonaparte: All 4 Volumes', is considered a comprehensive and intricate exploration of one of history's most significant figures. Sloane not only delved into the complex political landscape of Bonaparte's era but also captured the cultural and societal impacts of his rule. A professor at Princeton University, Sloane was instrumental in establishing the history department there and contributed a classical perspective to the understanding of historical phenomena. His literary style was distinguished by meticulous research, an engaging narrative, and an intellectual rigor that has stood the test of time. Moreover, Sloane's contributions were not confined to academia alone; he was actively involved in the organisation of the American Historical Association and played a key role in defining the path for future historical inquiry and pedagogy. His works continue to be cited for their enduring scholarly merit and depth of analysis in Napoleonic history.
