Description
xThe end of an epoch-two accounts within one volume Narrative of Events by Sir Thomas Ussher
Napoleon's Last Voyage: Extract of a diary by Sir George Cockburn These are two remarkable accounts from the annals of the Royal Navy and, indeed, remarkable incidents from the life of the Emperor of the French, Napoleon Bonaparte. Both voyages follow devastating defeats and the reader is able to view the emperor as he comes to terms with his circumstances as reported by those who had him within their custody. These are fascinating insights as to how Napoleon embarked-and lived-on these momentous journeys to exile. Napoleon's ebullient personality as he departs for Elba is perhaps an indication of future events and an account of his escape and march to Paris as experienced by a participant is included within the first section of this unique book. The second account is no less interesting to those interested in the Royal Navy and the now more reflective fallen Emperor as he embarks on what would truly be his final voyage.
