Publisher Description

Discover the true, turbulent, and passionate love story at the heart of the Apple Original Film Napoleon, now streaming on Apple TV+, through 15 of the French military leader’s revealing letters to his wife, Josephine.


Napoleon and Josephine Bonaparte remain one of history’s most iconic couples—their tumultuous relationship was intertwined with Napoleon’s ruthless climb to power. As Napoleon built his empire on battlefield after battlefield, the strong-willed Josephine was never far from his mind. Over the years, he wrote her hundreds of letters that document the pair’s rollercoaster courtship, marriage, and divorce, as well as his public triumphs and failures. In this book, available for free exclusively on Apple Books, Professor Michael Broers—prize-winning author, historian, and historical advisor to the Apple Original Film Napoleon—shares a selection of Napoleon’s most significant letters, spanning almost two decades. Together with a foreword by Ridley Scott, they provide an intimate, revealing glimpse into the volatile romantic life of the legendary leader and his one true love.

Lovely, but need more!

Nice collection, but far too short! We need a longer one, with the curation and historical context presented though out.

Napoleon the book is better than the movie

I liked these short letters better than the film. If we had seen them in the film like the opening of Star Wars it would have made the love story more appealing
