Released for sale on Amazon Books. A fascinating narrative history. When history is also a gripping story.
The Bonaparte name carried a destiny that still resounds throughout history.
So, imagine the weight of the expectations on a child born within this family. This is as much the story of a young man as it is a piece of history…
Born in Paris to Napoleon III – the then-Emperor of the French – and Empress Eugenie, Louis-Napoleon ‘The Prince imperial’, had a life that was controlled by destiny. From his earliest days his upbring and education was designed for one thing, to return this young Bonaparte as the leader of France.
However, the events of the Franco-Prussian war of 1870 brought a dramatic change in the family’s lives, and they soon found themselves exiled.
As his young life unfolded this perceived destiny drove this young man’s life and dictated his path through fame, political ambitions, the expectations of a military education, and – unfortunately – his untimely death.
Lost in the pages of history, this story – filled with aspirations, the desire to prove oneself, and bravery in the face of overwhelming odds – brings the life of Louis-Napoleon, the great-nephew of Napoleon Bonaparte and the son of Emperor Napoleon III, back into the limelight.
