Review:
'The book that Balzac never wrote: lovingly detailed and frighteningly bloody' The Times
'Napoleon becomes flesh and blood on these pages: sulking, raging, demanding adoration, deaf to advice . . . Rambaud can capture a character in a paragraph, imperial arrogance in a sentence and terror in a single image' Boston Globe
'So faithful in its detail and color -- one doesn't doubt the truth of it for a minute -- that scholars will turn to it' Washington Times

After his disastrous Russian campaign of 1812, Napoleon returns to France to find a country under attack. Bordeaux is occupied by Wellington's men; the Russians, Prussians and Austrians are converging on the French capital; Holland is in revolt, Sweden is a threat, and French royalists are openly declaiming the Emperor's reign over.
Forced to admit defeat, Napoleon is exiled to the Isle of Elba. However, amid all the spies, lies, rumour and uncertainty, nothing can be taken for granted, and certainly not where Bonaparte is concerned. While his enemies assume he is finished, the man himself is simply biding his time and dreaming of a jubilant homecoming: it may seem impossible now, but the Battle of Waterloo is less than a year away.
'A vivid and colourful picture of the lost year between Napoleon's defeat and abdication in 1814 and his return to France in 1815 to fight the Battle of Waterloo . . . What makes the book so readable is the rich drama of events that Rambaud has brought to life' The Times
