[Merlenoo]

At the end of January in 1815,the former emperor of France Napoleon Bonaparte began planning his daring escape from his exile on the island of Elba.
Only 5 months after his successful departure at the end of February, his entire venture crashed in ruins following the Battle of Waterloo, which ended the Napoleonic Era.

This book is a long time classic that describes the events leading to Napoleon's exile and his brief reign as 'the King of Elba', and the subsequent extraordinary escape he accomplished which led to his resumption of taking power in France if only for a more months. Nail-biting suspense and brilliantly written roller-coaster thrills in each chapter; the historical facts are immersed throughout without any dryness attached.
