By Malcolm Stewart
Barry Foster as Napoleon, Julian Glover as Bernadotte.
By 1799, ten years after the outbreak of the Revolution, France had been reduced to a deplorable state by the directorial government. The need for a change was obvious - a change that would give Napoleon the opportunity to fulfill his destiny. With Sam Dastor, Anthony Hall, John Bull, David Sinclair.
