"This book is not intended to be a biography, but rather it seeks to provide a basis for study of Napoleon's life and career, set against the events which he directly influenced. It should act as an introduction to the subject for the interested layman, the student, or the military enthusiast. The appendices give a chronology of important dates and concurrent events in Napoleon's time, plus some suggested books for further study.
