The book tells the fascinating, compelling and tragic tale of
Napoleon Bonaparte from his defeat at Waterloo, through the period
of his abdication in Paris to his capture by the British and,
beyond, as he went, reluctantly, into exile. It focusses on the
Emperor's time on the Bellerophon and Northumberland, the ships
that carried him from France to England and St Helena. Napoleon's
residence on St Helena is also explored in detail, using first-hand
accounts from the people who saw and accompanied him for the six
years of his exile. The book explores the slow decline of a great
man into physical and mental disintegration, examining the causes
of Napoleon's fatal malaise and his relationship with significant
figures like Sir Hudson Lowe and Betsy Balcombe - putting
everything into the context of enforced idleness on a distant and
barren lump of rock.
