After Waterloo, Napoleon considered the various forms of defiance surrender or escape open to him. Each course of action had points in its favour but the great man at the end of his luck showed himself wavering, desperate, capricious, fatalistic. Napoleon's vacillations and the behaviour of his friends, enemies and entourage during the few fatal weeks between Waterloo and July 23rd, 1815 make a most dramatic story of a superman in torment like some powerful beast surrounded and desperately looking for a way of escape.
