Architect of an Empire: Napoleon Bonaparte's Rise to Power. Part 2 Historyfeels: The Podcast

This week we’ll complete the trajectory of Napoleon’s rise to power, focusing not as much on his military might but instead on his political savvy that culminated in his personal rubicon moment, where he took on the Revolutionary Government itself in a coup attempt that came within a hair's width of complete failure.
All the while, as the intentions of the young General from Corsica became increasingly clear, a choice faced the leaders of the French Republic was this - when you have to stop a man with seemingly limitless ambition and all the support of the mob on his side, is there any price that is not worth paying, even if the cost is paid in blood?
