About the Author
Napoleon Bonaparte, aged 26 and having already known success as a soldier, was at something of a low ebb both professionally and personally when he began Clisson and Eugenie, and there are undoubted parallels between his own life and their story. Peter Hicks is a historian specialising in Napoleon.
