    About this audiobook

    This thrilling account of Napoleon’s rise to power-from his humble
    beginnings on the island of Corsica to his time as emperor of over half of Europe-focuses on Napoleon’s military exploits, including his victories in battle
    after battle, his exile to the island of Elba, his
    subsequent return to lead the disastrous Russian campaign, his final
    loss at Waterloo, and his last days on the lonely island of St. Helena.
