This Dark Business by Tim Clayton
This Dark Business tells the riveting story of the British government's determination to destroy Napoleon Bonaparte by any means possible.
Groundbreaking -- Andrew Roberts * Sunday Times *
What an astonishing story it all is, alternately inspiring and disturbing, a challenging addition to the Napoleonic canon. . Clayton writes with a fine eye for detail. You smell the sewers in which these men (and some women) hid or escaped, the cells in which they were confined and sometimes died - and the fear * Spectator *
In the era of fake news, this fascinating tale has obvious contemporary resonances * Times Literary Supplement *
