Author

Alexander Mikaberidze is a Georgian lawyer and historian who specializes in Napoleonic studies. He is a full professor of history and social sciences at Louisiana State University in Shreveport, where he holds the Ruth Herring Noel Endowed Chair for the Curatorship of the James Smith Noel Collection, one of the largest private collections of antiquarian books, prints, and maps in the United States.

Alexander Mikaberidze's book has the particularity of being the first to discuss the Napoleonic Wars from a global point of view. Indeed, historiography was confined to recounting and analysing the battles of the European continent, forgetting the sometimes decisive consequences in Latin America, North America, the Caribbean, the Indian Ocean, India, the Middle East and Oceania.

Indeed, historiography was confined to recounting and analysing the battles of the European continent, forgetting the sometimes decisive consequences in Latin America, the North, the Caribbean, the Indian Ocean, India, the Middle East and Oceania. Indeed, Jean Tulard, an eminent Napoleon specialist and professor emeritus at the Sorbonne University, calculated that there were more books written about Napoleon (more than 80,000) than days since his death in 1821.
