The history books say that Napoleon died of natural causes. Napoleon expired at 51 after a lifetime of robust health....suspected otherwise and ordered a thorough autopsy. 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 this fascinating book 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. Pages are yellowish brown due to age. It is a rare old copy that is difficult to get. The price is not negotiable.
