Description

An Answer to O'Meara's Napoleon in Exile: Or A Voice from St. Helena is a book written by John Wilson Croker in 1823. The book is a response to the controversial memoirs of Napoleon Bonaparte's physician, Barry O'Meara, who had accompanied Napoleon during his exile on the island of Saint Helena. Croker, a British politician and historian, challenges O'Meara's portrayal of Napoleon as a victim of British mistreatment and instead presents a more critical view of the French emperor. Croker argues that Napoleon was not unfairly treated by the British authorities and that his exile was a necessary measure to prevent him from causing further harm to Europe. The book also includes a detailed account of Napoleon's life and career, as well as his final years on Saint Helena. Overall, An Answer to O'Meara's Napoleon in Exile provides a counterpoint to the popular narrative of Napoleon's exile and sheds light on the complex political and historical context of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
