The Napoleonic Exiles in America
This study of the Napoleonic Exiles in America, which was first published in 1905, centers around “the unfortunate colonial enterprise called Champ d’Asile on the banks of the Trinity River in Texas.

A brutal and nefarious tale of slave trade, genocides, massacres, dictators supported, progressive leaders murdered, weapon-smuggling, cloak-and-dagger secret services, corruption, international conspiracy, and spectacular military operations, he raised the most basic and fundamental question - how was Africa (the world’s richest continent) raped and reduced to what Donald J. Trump called “shithole?” (V. Mbanwie )
