The only children’s picture book about France’s greatest general and eventual emperor, Napoleon Bonaparte

Napoleon achieved countless military victories and unified half a continent; he was a corporal, general, consul, and emperor. The life and career of Napoleon sounds impossible—but it’s true. His success, though brilliant, was also short-lived. Robert Burleigh’s biography of the Little Corporal, illustrated by period artworks and artifacts, describes the remarkable rise and fall of this charismatic and unusual man.
