Napoleon Bonaparte

$30 per person, Wednesday, April 12th, 10:00 am – 11:30 am

Instructor: Nancy Maxwell

Napoleon’s skill and brilliance extended well beyond the battlefield. Within 20 years of the abolition of the French monarchy during the revolution, he had out-maneuvered his political rivals and crowned himself emperor; then he began rebuilding the State and establishing a dynasty. This course will explore the political and social backdrop that gave rise to Napoleon’s career as well as the ambition and character that enabled the “little general” to leave a
remarkable legacy.
