Loved by his people a charismatic demagogue rises to ultimate power. This week Neil takes us across revolutionary France as Napoleon Bonaparte, a true military genius, becomes emperor. A brilliant soldier and leader, Napoleon captivates his country and makes the rest of continental Europe cower. On land, he was militarily unsurpassed, but at sea his naval ambitions were thwarted by Horatio Nelson and the British navy at the Battle of Trafalgar.
