Suicidal, Napoleon is also a man betrayed. Betrayed by his wife but also his companions. This is a man who nest in peace neither with himself nor with the great leaders of LEUROPE of the times. In short, this is a tormented man. It must be alert and erudite pen of JM Rouart to tell us all these moments of Lempereur life that give it a human face without making it low so far.
It is clear that this approach does not allow to have a complete biography of the emperor but it is a book that adds to the (too?) Many biographies already published over Napoleon.
