Retired aeronautical engineer become historian, Jacques Macé has written a book on the much-maligned Charles de Montholon. Whilst accepting that the general was no saint, he nevertheless manages to give a more balanced description than that presented by other authors. Macé not only brings to light Albine de Montholon’s emotionally-charged Chant de Moïne (published anonymously as an annex to her novel entitled Souvenirs de Lord Elderle – 1823), a thinly disguised version of her love affair with Napoleon, he also ably challenges the ‘poisonists’ in their contention that Montholon poisoned Napoleon.
