Review (PDF) Napoleon
Reprinted due to popular demand, this classic biography traces Napoleon's career from his youthful days of Corsican nationalism; to the introduction to French warfare at Toulon, and his phenomenal rise to power through the military machine, when, at the age of thirty, he became the de facto ruler of France.

The editorial review of "Napoleon" reveals much about the author of this excellent and informative work. "David Chandler has long been regarded as the greatest interpreter in modern times of the Napoleonic Era. His studies of the campaigns and tactics of Napoleon Bonaparte have set the standard for all subsequent writers."As I look at my wall, I notice a certificate signed by David from the International Napoleonic Society in Canada. David, a Fellow of the noted Royal Historical Society at the University of London, has devoted much of his life to the study and research of Napoleon.The 208 page book by Dr. Chandler is concerned in part with the sixty battles which Napoleon was engaged in from his early years in Corsica to his final military battle years later. Each battle is scientifically covered with an emphasis on their impact on later historical development and the character of Napoleon both in his personal and military life.The work is a masterpiece of clear and concise research which seems to place the reader beside Napoleon in all his vivid exploits. I have been fortunate to use this text in my teaching and have yet to find a student who does not praise the exceptional volume.David has written over 27 books on Napoleonic studies, the Marlburian Period and World War II. For his exceptional work in the field of history and literature, he has been awarded the Gold Cross of Merit of Poland.In 1991 he was awarded the Doctorate of Letters by Oxford University. Only five such degrees have been awarded by Oxford in military history since 1900. "He has [also] held three Visiting Professorships in the USA - at Ohio State (1970), at the VMI (1988) and US Marine Corps University (1991).
