A powerful story of an era dominated by one remarkable man, the Emperor Napoleon, a man who has attracted more debate than almost any figure in history. Ruthless and despotic but an undoubted military genius, this atmospheric and informative DVD follows the Emperor from his early days, through the glorious victory at Austerlitz, to the disasters of the Russian campaign and his final defeat at Waterloo. Superbly filmed reconstructions and re-enactments, period imagery and expert analysis explain the rise and fall of this famous man from history.
