The final volume of the critically acclaimed and groundbreaking
trilogy chronicling the life of Napoleon Bonaparte, one of
history's most complex and charismatic leaders This meticulously
researched study opens with Napoleon no longer in power, but
instead a prisoner in a dressing-gown just off the English coast.
This may have been a great fall from power, but Napoleon,
international celebrity of his age, still held immense attraction
and glamour. Every day, huge crowds would gather on the far shore
in the hope of catching a glimpse of him. Exile on St Helena was
decided upon by his captors as the only solution for containing the
troublesome potential of this once most powerful of leaders. Philip
Dwyer closes his ambitious trilogy exploring Napoleon's life,
legacy and myth by moving from those first months of imprisonment,
through the years of exile, up to death and then beyond, examining
how the foundations of legend that had been laid by Napoleon during
his lifetime continued to be built upon by his followers. Napoleon
III: The Passion, Death and Resurrection of Napoleon Bonaparte,
1815-1840 is a considered and illuminating exploration of one of
the most charismatic and able leaders of history in the closing
chapters of his life. It is a fitting and authoritative end to a
definitive work.
