This major, three-part series, sheds new light on Napoleon as an extraordinarily gifted military commander and a mesmeric leader whose private life - contrary to popular belief 200 years later - was littered with disappointments and betrayals: not least in relation to Josephine. Using recently uncovered historical evidence and based upon almost a decade of research, this series provides a comprehensive portrait of Napoleon and the achievements of the benevolent dictator. Traveling through the history and geography of Europe, the story of this controversial figure is brought vividly to life and confounds many popularly held assumptions of the man.
