Nietzsche and Napoleon

Among Nietzsche's favourite authors were Bonapartists, who largely formed Nietzsche's view of Napoleon—open the pages of the Nietzschean corpus and you will find a Napoleonic landscape, and Nietzsche's promotion of Napoleon serves to support the Bonapartist movement of the late nineteenth century. This book contains an innovative treatment of Nietzsche's political thought, far exceeding in scope and insight any previous writings on the subject.
