The biography offers a compelling portrayal of Napoleon, crafted by Sir Walter Scott six years after his death. It not only captivated readers across Britain and Europe but also sparked significant historical discourse, even leading to a duel challenge from former generals. Dr. Michaelis has skillfully condensed Scott's original extensive work into a more accessible format, preserving its insightful analysis. The text reflects a complex, pre-nation state Europe, shaped by diverse local cultures and historical contexts, appealing to both modern enthusiasts and scholars alike.
