These dramatic accounts bring to the foreground of history the impact of two world views--that of the Old World, sheltered in the shadow of Napoleon's belief in historical destiny, and that of the New World, more experimental and industrious. The clash produced a resounding din in the Napoleonic epoch, for which Napoleon and the American Dream traces new routes and relationships between two cultures.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eInès Murat is a native of Paris where she is a freelance writer.
