Napoleon - Man and Boy

This volume, entitled  “Napoleon - Man and Boy,” is the first in a series of eight volumes on the subject of one of the most fascinating people in the history of the world.  It focuses largely on the question of why Napoleon was so driven.  Other volumes in this series consider how he achieved his successes, why he failed, the influence of his personal life, and how others saw him, either in fact or in fiction.
