Asprey gives us more of the personality and passion that marks this swift-moving  intensely dramatic saga.In The Rise of Napoleon Bonaparte  Asprey showed us that Napoleon was not the father of chaos but rather an heir to chaos. In this sequel  we see Napoleon struggling to deal with that chaos. We peer over Napoleons shoulder as he solidifies his growing empire through a series of dynastic marriages  military victories  and shrewd diplomatic manipulations. We watch Napoleon lose control of his empire  plot his return from Elba  rally peasants in his march on Paris  and endure defeat at Waterloo and exile to St. Helena. The concluding installment to this exciting  reckless thrill ride shows Napoleon as he was-not saint  not sinner  but a man dedicated to and ultimately devoured by his vision of himself  his empire  and his world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44962807644213,"sku":"ByrdShop_0465004814","price":27.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780465004812.jpg?v=1770396929","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-reign-of-napoleon-bonaparte","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
