"Mabel Brookes' 'Napoleon on St Helena' is one of the best accounts of the fallen Emperor's 5 1/2-year imprisonment, which ended in 1821 with his death from a stomach ulcer. It presents the full story of Napoleon's household, with its conflicting personalities and domestic arrangements, his relationship with the local and military residents, and the long-standing feud between Plantation House and Longwood"--Cover.
