This Dark Business tells the story of the British government's determination to destroy Napoleon Bonaparte - by any means possible. Acclaimed historian Tim Clayton plunges the reader into the hidden underworld of Georgian politics in this gripping book about propaganda, spying and covert operations - a very modern tale of secret committees, slush funds and assassination.'What an astonishing story it all is, alternately inspiring and disturbing, a challenging addition to the Napoleonic canon . . . Clayton writes with a fine eye for detail. You smell the sewers in which these men (and some women) hid or escaped, the cells in which they were confined and sometimes died - and the fear' Spectator'In the era of fake news, this fascinating tale has obvious contemporary resonances' Times Literary Supplement
