Napoleon
£2.99
Written with great wit & panache, this biography also has a serious purpose: to make us face up to the moral bankruptcy of Napoleons dictatorship.

- perhaps even poisoned? Lowe has been reviled by some historians but looking afresh at the evidence, Frank Giles portrays him, though unattractive in many ways, in a more favourable light. Much admired author, will receive wide review overage.
