The Age of Napoleon: A History of European Civilization from 1789 to 1815 (Story of Civilization, Book 11) (Story of Civilization (Audio))
Description:
The Age of Napoleon surveys the amazing chain of events that wrenched Europe out of the Enlightenment and into the age of democracy. In this masterful work, listeners will encounter the French Revolution and its leaders Danton, Desmoulins, Robespierre, and Saint-Just; Napoleon's meteoric rise from provincial Corsican military student to emperor and commander of the largest army in history; Napoleon's fall-- his army's destruction in the snows of Russia, his exile to Elba, his escape and reconquest of the throne, and his ultimate defeat at Waterloo; and the birth of Romanticism and the dawning of a new age of active democracy and a rising middle class.
