Napoleon by R S Alexander
There is no shortage of characterizations of Napoleon, but not since Peter Geyl's classic "Napoleon: For and Against in the 1940s" has a writer tried to assess his many reputations and how they have evolved, and continue to evolve. Drawing on the latest scholarship, this is an addition to the "Reputations" series. Alexander treats Napoleon as a universal figure, rather than a specifically French one, and draws from an array of evidence in many media. He focuses particularly on how Napoleon's reputation has been altered by such events as the World Wars and the Cold War, and by association with such figures as Hitler, Santa Anna, Mehemet Ali, and Mussolini.
