Napoleon The Portrait of a King

4.9/5 (20121 ratings)

Description:Three years ago the world learned that all its knowledge about Napoleon was incomplete because the central motive of his career had, during more than a hundred years, remained unsuspected. This discovery followed the publication of the Memoires of Caulaincourt, his Ambassador in Russia its full implications have not yet, by any means, been understood. This present is the first biography of Napoleon in which the central motive of his life, as declared by himself, is given place. It is the first study, therefore, in which the struggle which involved the whole world between 1800 and 1815 is presete as the Emperor of the French himself saw it. That is no virtue of mine I have been so fortunate as to learn truth unknown, or at least only partially known, to earlier writers. But I ask my reader to credit me with this namely, that I have spent many years in studying not only financial method, but the influence ofr monetary policy upon historical event. That study has convinced me that history cannot properly be understood without such knowledge. The most astonishing fact of present-day life is the abysmal ignyrance about money of men and women otherwise fully instructed and informed. In fact, however, instruction must now be acquired by all who hope to play a part in human affairs, because, during the last four years, the system against whicTi Napoleon fought has received its death-blow and isbeing replaced slowly by the system which he tried to introduce into France and Europe, During a recent address to the Committee on Monetary Reform at the House of Commons I quoted from The Times, the Economist, and the Financial New to show that, in the year 1936, domestic trade in England has reached a peak of expan sion never before known. But on the same showing there has been virtually no increase in loans from banks. This can only mean, as I pointed out, that the system of debt-money has ceased to function, The reason is that the President of the United States, Mr. Roosevelt, has adopted Napoleons system of debt less money and has compelled the world to adopt it also a remarkable fulfilment of a prophecy made by the Emperor at St. Helena.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
