Vibrant and illuminating ... [Dywer] tells a fascinating tale' The
Times This meticulously researched study opens with Napoleon no longer
in power, but instead a prisoner on the island of St Helena. This may
have been a great fall from power, but Napoleon still held immense
attraction. Every day, huge crowds would gather on the far shore in the
hope of catching a glimpse of him.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. This is a fitting and authoritative end to a definitive work.
