📱 eBook en inglés NAPOLEON'S DOCTOR

A fascinating glimpse into the mind of Napoleon in exile – his opinions on love and war, his reflections on the most important events of his life – by one of his closest confidantes

In 1815, the young Dublin doctor Barry OMeara accepted the opportunity of a lifetime to look after Napoleon Bonaparte in his banishment on St Helena. In one of the most isolated places on earth, doctor and patient became intimate friends.

The core of Napoleons Doctor is the diary OMeara kept, at Napoleons suggestion, while on St Helena. He records in lively detail many hours of Napoleons conversation, ranging from his views on class, religion and slavery to his love for Josephine and why Waterloo was lost.

Napoleon was only fifty-one when he died on St Helena. This book ends with a detailed solution to a mystery that has plagued historians: was he poisoned by his British jailers?
