Napoleon’s Last Battle

Synopsis: Although Napoleon Bonaparte is regarded as a charismatic politician and a military genius who laid the foundations of the modern French state, he spent his last years in exile on St Helena deliberately enhancing the facts. Dramatised conversations between Napoleon (Kenneth Colley), his British doctor and his biographer Count de las Cases are used to examine Napoleon as a self-propagandist.
