About This Item
NY: Congdon & Lattes, Inc, 1982. First Edition. Hardcover_cloth. Good/VeryGood. 5.75"x8.5" 266 pgs. X-library w/graphics. Second printing stated. Spine straight, binding tight. Mild soiling. The history books say that Napoleon died of natural causes. Napoleon himself, expiring at 51 after a lifetime of robust health, suspected otherwise and ordered a thorough autopsy. His suspicions were well founded. So clever was the crime, however, that until recent developments in forensic science, it was impossible to prove a case of murder, let alone name the killer. Now, the authors of The Murder of Napoleon assert, it has been done-by a brilliant man whose 20-year inquest, a feat of detection, has produced one of history's greatest surprises.
