Description:
New book, some shelf wear to jacket. 380 pages. This book introduces us to the many intruiging women behind Napoleon - from his strong willed mother and three sisters to his varied wives and mistresses - Josephine, Marie-Louise, and Marie Walewska. This account reveals Napoleons often neglected private life and passionate relationships, in which he worshiped certain women as often as he disdained others. Vividly evoking the political and social upheaval of post revolutionary France, Hibbert captures the vibrant characters who made history, not only on the battlefield, but also in the bedroom.
