Description

Napoleon: Passion, Death and Resurrection 1815-1840 by Philip Dwyer is a meticulously researched study that explores Napoleon's life, legacy and myth. The book opens with the former leader as a prisoner on the island of St Helena, where he still held immense attraction despite being out of power. Every day, huge crowds would gather to catch a glimpse of him, and it was here that Dwyer examines how the foundations of legend that had been laid by Napoleon during his lifetime continued to be built upon by his followers. The study then moves through the years of exile, up to death, and beyond, providing a fitting and authoritative end to a definitive work on this complex figure. This book offers a refreshing scholarship, filled with colourful detail, making it a thoroughly enjoyable read for anyone interested in Napoleon's story.
