ASSASSINATION AT ST. HELENA REVISITED
by Ben Weider and Sten Forshufvud

9.58 x 6.53 in.  555 pages.

An updated reissue, expanded with new evidence, of the classic book on how Napoleon died. Presents a well-argued case for who murdered Napoleon that is supported by today's leading experts on Napoleonic history. Contains exhibits of scientific evidence to establish who orchestrated and financed Napoleon's death.

Was Napoleon murdered? According to Swedish toxicologist Sten Forshufvud, and Napoleonic scholar Ben Weider, the answer is an irrefutable "yes." In one of history's most intriguing homicide investigations, the authors have compiled startling, yet convincing evidence implicating a nobleman, who was once severely punished by Napoleon, as the defeated leader's killer. Photos.

This edition (first, 1978) gathers new evidence and documentation to show that Napoleon I (1769-1821) was slowly poisoned to death by a courtier with close ties to the Bourbon succession. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
