France's entry into the American Revolution is seen to have far-reaching consequences in this week's episode, which jumps ahead in time to the French Revolution and the career of Napoleon Bonaparte. The first reading in the Quest for Empire series, the episode begins with the battle of Valmy, where a deep sense of national pride is awakened within the French, a pride that, as much as his own inborn gifts, will propel Bonaparte to unprecedented military success.
