Love him or hate him, Napoleon is a figure probably unrivaled in modern history.
I'm going to take you some snapshot, iconic moments in some of his battles.
Toulon, 1793, we're down here on the Mediterranean coast of France.
Here we have the young Napoleon, 24 years old, full of energy, full of zeal for the revolution, and that revolution is in danger.
The city of Toulon has been occupied by French royalists.
The young Napoleon is given the task of leading an assault on this important fort, which he does.
The French fire at the fortress, and then they storm it, using infantry and ladders, and Napoleon himself leads the attack.
He's stabbed in the thigh by a British soldier with a bayonet, but the attack succeeds, and the British are pushed out.
The Battle of the Pyramids, 1798.
We're now away down South on the map, on the Southern shores of the Mediterranean in Egypt.
