Napoleon Bonaparte: England’s prisoner, the emperor in exile, 1816-21

A revisionist view of the captivity on Saint Helena, Giles attempts to show the politics behind the vilification of Hudson Lowe. Indeed, Lowe was not only criticised by his contemporaries but also by those who came later, and the author carefully takes us through the myriad differing opinions.
