The first original study of Napoleon's military mistakes and the personal and political errors that brought about his downfall.

In this groundbreaking book Digby Smith, a former soldier and leading Napoleonic scholar, offers the first ever detailed study of the errors and mistakes that brought about the Emperor's downfall. Covering both his rise to power and his reign from 1804 to 1815, Smith covers Napoleon's military mistakes and his political and personal errors. Among the blunders highlighted are Napoleon' invasion of Russia, his involvement in Spain; his inability to understand naval operations ( and his failure to invest in his ships); the cost of creating new kingdoms and principalities - and the idiocy of putting his own family members on their thrones. Altogether this is an original and fresh look at one of history's most famous and familiar figures.
