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.

Very warm and cozy
My teenage daughter loves it. This is a perfect way to wear your blanket. This is the best Christmas present. I purchased it for one of my 3 kids, then I needed to order 2 more for the other 2 because they also wanted it. The fabric is very soft, and the inner side is fluffy and warm, great for cold winter evenings. I was not sure about the hood, but my kids love it, so I guess it's a good thing to have it.

Soft, cozy, and very warm
Bought it as a gift, and it was a big success! This is a well made product. It is thick, soft, and very warm. It gets much plush and softer after washing and drying, which I highly recommend to do before wearing it. Excellent value for the price.

Warm, soft, made to last
Absolutely love this thing! It is perfectly warm and toasty and extremely soft to the touch. The hood and large pocket are useful and perfect. I have put this in the washer and drier several times and have worn it A LOT over the 2 months I’ve owned it yet it still looks brand new. It is seriously SO. COMFORTABLE. When I had the flu, I wore this and didn’t have to worry about tripping over a blanket draped over myself. I can’t think of a single negative to say!!

Warm and cozy.
The wearable blanket is better than I hoped. We are in Florida and experiencing below cold and this came just at the right time. It is soft and the pocket is large enough that my phone is not in danger of falling out. It is well worth it if you have trouble with being cold, and you don't have to uncover to get up.
