The definitive biography of the great soldier-statesman by the acclaimed author of The Storm of War—winner of the LA Times Book prize, finalist for the Plutarch prize, winner of the Fondation Napoleon prize and a New York Times bestseller “A thrilling tale of military and political genius… Roberts is an uncommonly gifted writer.” – The Washington Post Austerlitz, Borodino, Waterloo: his battles are among the greatest in history, but Napoleon Bonaparte was far more than a military genius and astute leader of men. Like George Washington and his own hero Julius Caesar, he was one of the greatest soldier-statesmen of all times. Andrew Roberts’s Napoleon is the first one-volume biography to take advantage of the recent publication of Napoleon’s thirty-three thousand letters, which radically transform our understanding of his character and motivation. At last we see him as he was: protean multitasker, decisive, surprisingly willing to forgive his enemies and his errant wife Josephine. Like Churchill, he understood the strategic importance of telling his own story, and his memoirs, dictated from exile on St. Helena, became the single bestselling book of the nineteenth century. An award-winning historian, Roberts traveled to fifty-three of Napoleon’s sixty battle sites, discovered crucial new documents in archives, and even made the long trip by boat to St. Helena. He is as acute in his understanding of politics as he is of military history. Here at last is a biography worthy of its subject: magisterial, insightful, beautifully written, by one of our foremost historians.

thanks bác nhìu, cuốn này mới có bản TV, giá khá cao (gần 500k), thấy các ông dịch giả chê cuốn của Tarle lắm, k biết chất lượng thế nào đây.
Mình tìm hiểu thì thấy tác giả (nhà sử học) Andrew Roberts có viết nhiều tác phẩm về Napoleon, trong số đó có hai cuốn sách: "Napoleon: A Life, Viking Press 2014" và "Napoleon the Great, Allen Lane 2015". Cuốn "Napoleon Đại đế, NXB Thế Giới 2017" do Lê Đình Chi dịch là cuốn nào trên đây? Mình có xem qua bản tiếng Anh của cuốn "Napoleon: A Life, Viking Press 2014" thì thấy nội dung khá giống tuy nhiên vẫn có những chỗ khác biệt. Bạn nào có bản tiếng Anh của cuốn "Napoleon the Great, Allen Lane 2015" thì cho mình xin nhé. Xin chân thành cám ơn!
Hai bản như nhau. Bản Napoleon: A Life là US phát hành. Napoleon The Greak là UK phát hành. Tựa có thể khác nhau nhưng nội dung thì y hệt.
