This Dark Business by Tim Clayton

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 *
