No rags to riches story can compare with that of Napoleon and Josephine,two outsiders who rose to become Emperor and Empress of the French Republic.Evangeline Bruce's joint biography embraces the lives not only of her two central figures,but of all the vital personalities of the Revolutionary era. To read NAPOLEON AND JOSEPHINE is to read a political thriller,a romance of passion and dangerous liasons,a military epic and a journal of society and fashion.
