The French Revolution set Europe ablaze.

It was an age of enlightenment and progress, but also of tyranny and oppression.

It was an age of glory and an age of tragedy.

One man stood above it all.

This was the age of Napoleon.

I'm Everett Rommage, host of the age of Napoleon podcast.

Join me as I examine the life and times of one of the most fascinating and enigmatic

characters in modern history.

Look for the age of Napoleon wherever you find your podcasts.
