Condition: Very Good. The original boards with a DJ are slightly shelf rubbed and edge worn. This book was read and enjoyed but is still overall very good. The book is protected with a Cellophane cover. Gift inscription on the front board. 

An excellent biography of Napoleon. Cronin portrays Napoleon as a republican idealist whose ascension to Emperor was solely for the preservation of moderate Republican values. He is very sympathetic to Napoleon pointing out that his wars were generally pre-emptive attacks on monarchies who sought to destroy the ideals of the French Revolution. The focus is on his character rather than his accomplishments.
