Author Frances Winwar wrote another in the World Landmark series -- Queen Elizabeth and the Spanish Armada. The publisher's blurb reads: ''Frances Winwar leads us to an understanding of Napoleon and the part he played in history. She traces his adventurous life from his birth on the island of Corsica to his last days on St Helena. But islands were too small for a man of Napoleon's ambition. He need a stage as big as a continent. Almost everybody has read something about Napoleon, but rarely have the man and the tremendous events been recreated so superbly as in this book.''
