Europas historie, Frankrigs historie, fransk militærhistorie og krigshistorie - amerikansk biografi om Napoleon (1769-1821), den store franske kejser, hærfører, soldat, militær leder, feltherre, politiker og statsmand, som i den grad ændrede Europakortet og Frankrigs historie, og ikke mindst militærhistorien med sine forbløffende, forbavsende og brilliante sejre. Napoleon er beundret og hadet og forkætret som få, og der er skrevet så utroligt mange bøger om ham, også meget vås; dette 4-bindsværk hører til i den absolut lødige del af Napoleonslitteraturen. Stilen er fin og meget bredt fortællende, men historisk absolut korrekt, det forfriskende ved værket er den amerikanske synsvinkel, og de sidste kapitler som forsøger at beskrive Napoleon og hans betydning for Frankrig og Europa i en bredere sammenhæng. Det allerbedste ved værket er dog illustrationerne. Billedmaterialet er meget fint, smukke reproduktioner af samtidige kunstnere, dels med Napoleon selv, og hans familie og forskellige "gribende" episoder i hans brogede liv, og dels de mange krigsbilleder, med forskellige krigsepisoder og krigsoplevelser med franske soldater og den franske hær, herunder en del fine uniformsbilleder og slagscener. Værket er i 4 dele, i stort format, udkom i 1894 (denne udgave fra 1896) og er skrevet af en amerikansk historieprofessor ved Princeton Universitetet. Hvert bind har en liste over illustrationerne, og udførlige kapiteloverskrifter med mange stikordsindgange til værket, desuden samlet register til alle 4 bind bagerst i bd.4.

Almost two centuries since his death, Napoleon Bonaparte remains the subject of vigorous debate. On one side are those with a romantic attachment to ideals of liberty and democracy, on the other are those who would rather see him as an ambitious warlord, bent on establishing a colonial empire in the heart of Europe. 30-Second Napoleon takes in both viewpoints, presenting an engrossing introduction to one of the most recognizable figures in history and one of extraordinary interest whichever point of view you take, romantic or pragmatic: one who did much to modernize Europe, and who stood for both a powerful state and for rational and efficient government, plus such principles as equality before the law and the career open to talent--achievements that explain his continued fascination for so many people.
