Description
From CNN's official royal historian, a highly praised young author with a doctorate from Oxford University, comes the extraordinary rags-to-riches story of the woman who conquered Napoleon's heart -- and with it, an empire.
Description
Napoleon Bonaparte and his wife, Josephine, came to power during one of the most turbulent periods in the history of France. Williams draws back the curtain Josephine: her humble origins, her exorbitant appetites, and the tragic turn of events that led to her undoing. Theirs was an often-tumultuous union, roiled by their pursuit of other lovers but intensely focused on power and success. Together they conquered Europe... but she could not produce an heir.
