About This Item
NY: John Wiley & Sons, Inc.. As New in Near Fine dust jacket. 1995. First Printing. Hard Cover. 0471126772 . Publisher's full black cloth, gilt lettering on spine. Includes Bibliography and Index. Napoleon was poisoned! The academic elite hated this theory when Sten Forshufvud first introduced it in 1961, but over the years, working with experts across the globe, he built an increasingly forceful case that an assassin killed Napoleon with arsenic. Assassination at St. Helena Revisited presents the most complete argument yet, and a growing number of authorities now accept its premise as an established fact. (See, for instance, Alan Schom's biography Napoleon Bonaparte.) Forshufvud and coauthor Ben Weider reveal their science and also detail Napoleon's final years of exile on St. Helena. The culprit, they believe, was Comte Charles-Tristan de Montholon, an opportunistic man who had both the motive and means to do the deed. A minor classic of historical and scientific detective work, Assassination at St. Helena Revisited will continue to spark debates, but for now it looks like the conspiracy theorists have the upper hand. . The volume is in perfect, pristine condition, unmarked, tight, square and clean. The unclipped dust jacket is slightly creased at the heel of the spine with a a very small closed tear on the lower corner of front panel, else as new. AS NEW/NEAR FINE. . B&W Photographs. 8vo 8" - 9" tall. 555 pp .
