Maitland was the Captain of the Bellerophon; the Royal Navy ship to which Napoleon surrendered and which then transported Napoleon to England (before he was sent to St. Helena). The book reads almost like a novel in the Hornblower series or Patrick O’Brian’s “Master Commander†books; and would appeal to anyone who enjoys those types of stories. Maitland describes the thin blockade that lead to Napoleon’s capture and prevention of his escape to America; which was a very near run thing in actuality. There is also a fascinating account of Napoleon’s time on the ship and the tangled dealings of both Maitland and Napoleon with other Royal Navy officers and government officials; including some that are humorous. Lord Keith is a major player in the story; and other events and persons alluded to will also be familiar to readers of O’Brian’s series.Amazingly; the biggest personality involved; over any of these men of high rank; was one Madame Bertrand; the hot tempered and melodramatic wife of one of the French generals who decided to accompany Napoleon into exile - much to the chagrin of Mdm. B. She's a character that a novelist would love to have created.The hardcover version of the book that I purchased also includes a bio of Maitland’s full naval career and some related materials that are very interesting – Not sure if these are in the apparently shorter paperback version; though.
