Synopsis

A small Corsican village is his birthplace, but it is France that shapes his destiny: the France of the invader, the destroyer, the dissolute aristocracy. Torn from his island home and sent away to the strict confines of a military academy, he learns self reliance and independence. Rising through the ranks of his contemporaries, he learns that self-will is the only will, and one can never demand more of Fortune than she is prepared to give. This is the tale of Napolean Bonaparte, Emperor of the French.
