Adam Zamoyski explores how Napoleon achieved spectacular victories by hard work, attention to detail and quick reactions. He also had an ability to galvanise his men to strike where it mattered against armies not trained to respond in kind. Napoleon enhanced his aura of invincibility through skilful propaganda. This captured the imagination of people all over Europe and lent him superhuman attributes. Yet as he grew older, he began to make mistakes. His enemies learnt from him, but he learnt nothing. Ultimately, he revealed himself to have been a masterful tactician, but no strategist.
