Charles Zahno: From Elba to Paris: The Audacity of Napoleon's Comeback, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Exiled, defeated, and stripped of his empire, Napoleon Bonaparte seemed destined to fade into history. But in a move that stunned Europe, the former Emperor escaped his Mediterranean exile on Elba and embarked on a daring journey to reclaim his throne.

In just 100 days, Napoleon reignited the fervor of his supporters, evaded the forces of the restored Bourbon monarchy, and set the stage for one of the most dramatic military campaigns of all time. From the shores of Elba to his triumphant return to Paris, and ultimately to the fields of Waterloo, Napoleon s audacity reshaped the political landscape of Europe and cemented his legacy as one of history s most enigmatic figures.

Historian Charles Zahno vividly chronicles this extraordinary episode, exploring Napoleon's strategic genius, relentless ambition, and the loyal network that made his astonishing comeback possible. A gripping tale of resilience and leadership, From Elba to Paris offers unparalleled insight into the man who refused to surrender to fate.

For readers of military history and political intrigue, this is a story of defiance, redemption, and the enduring power of one individual to change the course of history.
