Battle of Waterloo, when the Napoleon, trapped in La Rochelle, surrendered to
the captain of the ship that had dogged his steps for more than twenty years.
‘A masterly account and, like all good biographies, says as much, if not more,
about the historical context as about the subject itself’
Sunday Times
‘Cordingly has unearthed a revealing study… The account of Napoleon’s brief
incarceration on the ship in July 1815 is fascinating… original and well-researched’
Daily Telegraph
