More books have been written about Napoleon than any other figure in history. Between 1815 and 1900, more than 100,000 titles were produced. Publication of Napoleonic literature continued strong until the 1930's when it slipped in popularity. Even so, new titles continue to appear regularly. Why have so many books been written? First and foremost was Napoleon's impact on history. During the period 1800-1815, almost every significant event in European history was the result of an action initiated by Napoleon.
