Excited to have written the chapter on Napoleon Bonaparte in ‘The Dictators’ by Iain Dale.
To be alongside so many incredible fellow authors in this book, from historians I studied at school to politicians, is a great honour, and a huge thank you to Iain for the opportunity.
The tale of the life of Napoleon is a fascinating one. His rise, fall, then rise again and ultimate final downfall is a story for the ages, while his personal life, as a man who was married twice but had over twenty affairs, means that the chapter is far more salacious than you might expect from a history book! If you are interested in reading about Napoleon, and the sixty-three other dictators covered, ranging from Julius Caesar to Vladimir Putin, the book is available in print in all good bookshops and online along with as an e-book along with as an audiobook.
