What is The Age of Napoleon (The Story of Civilization, Vol. 11) (Story of Civilization, 11) about?

The Age of Napoleon surveys the amazing chain of events that wrenched Europe out of the Enlightenment and into the Age of Democracy: * The French Revolution---from the storming of the Bastille to the guillotining of the King * The revolution's leaders Danton, Desmoulins, Robespierre, Saint-Just---all cut down by the reign of terror they inaugurated. * Napoleon's meteoric rise---from the provincial Corsican military student to the Emperor commanding the largest army in history * Napoleon's fall---his army's destruction in the snows of Russia, his exile to Elba, escape and reconquest of the throne, and ultimate defeat at Waterloo by the combined forces of Europe. * The birth of romanticism and the dawning of a new age of active democracy and a rising middle class, laying the foundation for our own era.
