Napoleon and the Hundred Days

In Napoleon and the Hundred Days, Stephen
Coote vividly re-creates the rise and fall of Bonaparte's empire, and
brings to life the characters who shaped it. With the eye of an historian
and the dramatic style of a novelist, Coote describes how the path to war
became inevitable and how, at the Battle of Waterloo, the fatigued but
ever arrogant Napoleon met his match. This is a dazzling portrait of the
legendary emperor, whose genius, courage, and tenacity won--and lost--him
a vast empire.
