Product Description
n 1815, after an adventurous war, the young Irish doctor Barry O'Meara accepted the opportunity of a lifetime to look after Napoleon in his banishment on St Helena. In one of the most isolated places in the world, Napoleon and his entourage fought a constant battle with the security-obsessed British military who were his jailers.
Utilising a wide range of sources, and focusing largely on Dr O'Meara's diary entries which recount conversations with Napoleon on a day-to-day basis, The Emperor and the Irishman is an insight into the private face of Napoleon and the conflict of interest O'Meara felt as an officer in the British navy, and a physician to his country's enemy.
Dr Hubert O'Connor is a Dublin gynaecologist and author. He has lectured on the events on St Helena all over the world.
