Throughout the book, Broers delivers page-turning accounts of the many military engagements of the time. As in the first book, Broers provides an excellent character study of Napoleon. Readers will eagerly await the third volume., This masterly second volume of Michael Broers's biography illuminates the middle years of Napoleon's career. [Broers] brings out unforgettable details. His accounts of Napoleonic battles are suffused with the characters and psychology of their chief protagonists., Breathtaking. The best--and certainly the most original--scholar writing in this field writing in English. Broers succeeds admirably., The great strength of Broers's book arises from its detail, empathy, and even-handedness. He presents his information clearly and sometimes even lyrically. This is a serious work, the product of reflection as well as research befitting a distinguished professor of Western European History at Oxford., Offers a wonderful sense of the genius'and man'who was so stunningly able to remake European boundaries. Among the plethora of Napoleon biographies, this is immensely engaging.
