First Secretary of the Emperor's Cabinet

This is the first complete English translation of Baron Fains memoirs, which have been hailed as the finest existing record of Napoleons organization. Fain worked intimately with Napoleon from 1806 to 1815 and describes in detail the emperors work habits and the functioning of his imperial cabinet at the height of the empire. Besides making fascinating reading, this work is a valuable resource for both the academic researcher and the modern executive who seeks insight into the genius of an empire-builder.

Paperback

Napoleon Bonaparte: A Life
by Alan Schom
Hardcover (1997)

Hardcover

You won't come away from this energetic biography thinking much of the French emperor either as a man or as a general. Historian Alan Schom depicts Napoleon (1769-1821) as a cold-hearted manipulator: Schom's blistering accounts of the 1798-99 Egyptian campaign and the disastrous 1812 retreat from Russia show the French army decimated due to its leader's failure to inform himself about the lands he was invading or to properly plan for provisioning his troops. The fun of this book comes from vigorous prose that vividly evokes Bonaparte's titanic personality and the colourful band of schemers surrounding him.
The New York Times Book Review, Robert Gildea
I should come clean and confess that I have always admired Napoleon... Schom's account is a revival of the black legend that was propagated by Napoleon's enemies from the moment he took power. They saw Napoleon as a warmonger, usurper and military dictator... Napoleon-lovers will be uncomfortable with this book, Napoleon-haters will embrace it.
