Its always an interesting problem in history to judge what might have happened if in great events the health of the chief actors had been different.If Elizabeth Tudor had married LEICESTER and had a son;if Queen Anne's seventeen children had not all died;if Canning in 1827 had been in good
health;if Woodrow Wilson in 1924 had not been stricken with illness, would history have taken a different turn?
Napoleon presents an outstanding problem.Was his disability in the critical days a factor in deciding the retreat from MOSCOW? And what's the solution to the mystery which the French call the Enigma of Waterloo? With wide professional knowledge and skill Kemble examines in the light of all available evidence Napoleon's family history, his whole health record from his birth to his death, and he discusses the effects of certain vital events and significant circumstances in his private life and personal habits.A work of outstanding interest and of great medical and historical value.
