"The story of Napoleon is the story of a man who comes out of nowhere to dominate first France and then all of Europe. He ruled over 70 million people - and then he loses everything. That’s an archetypal story. That’s a story that will always be fascinating. And then the story itself is so outlandish, it’s so filled with dramatic moments that are hard to believe that it seems as if it had been invented by a writer prone to exaggeration. But it’s all true. Napoleon stands at a turning point in history, a figure who embodies all the conflicting currents of his time."
--David Grubin, producer, director, and writer of PBS mini-series
