Program Description

Event Details

This presentation will explore the political and social backdrop that gave rise to Napoleon’s career as well as the ambition and character that enabled the “little general” to leave a remarkable legacy.

Many are familiar with Napoleon’s extraordinary military feats, but his skill and brilliance extended well beyond the battlefield. Within 20 years of the abolition of the French monarchy during the revolution, he had out-maneuvered his political rivals and crowned himself emperor; then he began rebuilding the state and establishing a dynasty.
