The Napoleon Bonaparte Podcast #37 – Fouche’s Machiavellian Machinations

The Napoleon Bonaparte Podcast

Somehow we managed to get another entire episode just out of Joseph Fouche, Minister of Police, Duke of Otranto, and his machinations after Napoleon’s abdication to try to ensure his own position of power in post-Napoleonic France. We also talk about what’s happening during this period of instability with Marshals Ney, Davout and Murat. Napoleon, although the topic of much discussion, is, in this episode, almost a minor character.

This show is based on David’s book “Napoleon For Dummies”.
