Publisher's Synopsis
An Answer to O'Meara's Napoleon in Exile: Or a Voice from St. Helena is a book written by John Wilson Croker and published in 1823. The book is a response to Barry Edward O'Meara's book Napoleon in Exile, which was published in the same year. O'Meara was a doctor who accompanied Napoleon during his exile on the island of St. Helena, and his book presented a sympathetic portrayal of the former emperor.Croker's book, on the other hand, was a critical response to O'Meara's work. Croker was a British politician and writer who was known for his conservative views, and he was critical of Napoleon and his legacy. In An Answer to O'Meara's Napoleon in Exile, Croker argued that O'Meara's book was biased and inaccurate, and he presented his own interpretation of Napoleon's exile and the events that led up to it.The book is divided into chapters that cover different aspects of Napoleon's life and exile. Croker discusses Napoleon's rise to power, his military campaigns, and his eventual defeat and exile. He also examines Napoleon's character and personality, and he argues that Napoleon was a dangerous and unstable leader who posed a threat to Europe.An Answer to O'Meara's Napoleon in Exile: Or a Voice from St. Helena is an important historical document that sheds light on the political and cultural climate of the early 19th century. It is also a valuable resource for anyone interested in Napoleon and his legacy, as it presents a conservative perspective on his life and career.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
