This work explores the life and times of Napoleon Bonaparte, detailing his rise from a Corsican background to political and military prominence. Sloane delves into the socio-political climate of Europe during Napoleon's lifetime, providing a comprehensive view of his character, influences, and the historical context that shaped his actions. The opening of the volume establishes the turmoil of the late 18th century as Europe grappled with revolutionary ideas and movements, notably in France and Corsica. Sloane introduces Napoleon's early environment, including his family background, the sociopolitical landscape of Corsica, and the historical heroes that inspired him, particularly Pascal Paoli. The narrative outlines the complexities of Corsican identity and politics, setting the stage for Napoleon's birth amidst conflict. Through detailed descriptions, the author offers insights into how these factors contributed to shaping the young Napoleone di Buonaparte's ambitions and character, as well as hinting at the significant events that would later define his legendary status.
