The Emperor's Last Campaign: A Napoleonic Empire in America (Atlantic Crossings)
"For revealing this last campaign of the legendary French emperor, his universal perspective, his rigorous research and his courage...  Ocampo joins the ranks of this continent's great intellectuals," Jose I. Garcia Hamilton"This is an excellent and polished work of original, provocative scholarship... "--Rafe Blaufarb, Ben Weider Eminent Scholar and Director of the Institute on Napoleon and the French Revolution at Florida State University."A truly magnificent study... sheds light on a topic has not been explored to such a detail before."--Alexander Mikaberidze, Assistant Professor of European History, LSU Shreveport"Ocampo has provided all students of the period with an invaluable reference tool." David Bushnell, Professor Emeritus of History, University of Florida“[Ocampo] traces the conspiracies, political enthusiasms, and political consequences that animated the Atlantic world following the abdication of Napoleon and his confinement in St. Helena. He convincingly argues that Napoleonic veterans and the Bonaparte family acted in ways that roiled the political environments of both Europe and the Americas until Napoleon’s death.”—Lyman L. Johnson, coauthor ofColonial Latin America“This work is original and makes a contribution to our knowledge and understanding of the last years of Napoleon. . . . [It] focuses on the efforts and plans to rescue him from St. Helena during the years 1815-1821 . . . and provides many interesting biographies of the people who played an important role in trying to free Napoleon.”—Alexander Grab, author ofNapoleon and the Transformation of Europe
