Praise

Praise for Napoleon by Paul Johnson:
 
“Paul Johnson . . . is a historian at the top his game. His judgments are sure. His historical range is sweeping. His storytelling is crisp and his writing elegant.”
The Baltimore Sun
 
“The selection of the venerable British historian . . . Paul Johnson to write on Napoleon . . . has turned out to be a wise one: Johnson is succinct, critical, and deeply skeptical of the Napoleonic legend.”
The Atlantic Monthly
 
“This is a jewel of a book; comprehensive, brief, and passionate.”
The Economist
 
“Johnson provides an excellent overview . . . [He] presents a concise appraisal of Napoleon’s career and a precise understanding of his enigmatic character.”
Booklist
 
“[A] succinct yet lively biography . . . very readable and entertaining.”
The Washington Post
