If you want a cradle to the grave story of Napoleon, this one is fantastic.

Dumb question but how detailed does this book go into his actual campaigns? Obviously I don't expect or even want battlefield maps and detailed tactics but does it go over each of main conflicts during the Napoleonic Wars (Why it happened, who was involved, what occurred, maybe a summary of the major battles, etc.?)

Napoleon A Life is considered the preeminent book. It is a big block of a book sitting on my bookshelf. Kind of intimidating but can't wait to read. Love this guy. Truly fascinating individual.
