Some men are born to change the world. Others are born to shape it to their indomitable will. Napoleon Bonaparte was one such man. The son of a minor Corsican family, he would rise through the ranks at the speed of a cannonball, emulating the great military minds before him to save a revolution, lead the Grand Armee to numerous stunning victories and ultimately seize total power by taking the throne of France. When it came, his final undoing proved no less spectacular, a daring roll of the dice too far that condemned him to death in exile. This is the story of one of history's most dynamic and ambitious rulers.
