Reception[]
"As an explanation of the past in personal terms, this is probably the best life of Napoleon we have." - Economist.
"Mr Cronin is not only very calm and cool, he is lucid, writes plainly and well, and organizes his huge amount of raw material capably." - Sunday Telegraph
"His book must be pressed upon tthe general reader: It is so lively and well written... absorbing throughout." - Sunday Times
"To present Napoleon plausibly as the classical hero of his own imagining takes nerve, originality, prodigious powers of research and a true historical imagination. Vincent Cronin displays all these qualities." - Michael Foot
