“The harm of the Revolution is to have demolished a lot and built nothing, everything is still to be done.”
— Napoléon Bonaparte
On the occasion of the bicentenary of Napoleon’s death, this small volume finally makes available to the French public a selection of his letters and speeches, true masterpieces of rhetoric and ambition.
