Resolute Determination: Napoleon and the French Empire

In these lectures, Professor Donald M.G. Sutherland explores the life and times of Napoleon, one of history¿s most brilliant strategic thinkers. But despite his inarguable brilliance, Napoleon has also been denounced as unscrupulously ambitious and as alone responsible for the wars that bear his name. With his scholarly eye, Professor Sutherland imparts a fuller understanding of this polarizing figure and deftly shows how Napoleon fit into the sweep of history¿and how he helped to define it.
