Historic Doubts as to the Execution of Marshal Ney 1895

By James Augustus Weston

Book Overview

Historic Doubts as to the Execution of Marshal Ney is a book written by James A. Weston in 1895. The book presents a controversial theory that Marshal Ney, a French military commander, was not actually executed by firing squad in 1815 as history records. Instead, Weston argues that Ney was allowed to escape to the United States where he lived out the rest of his life under a false identity. The book provides evidence and arguments to support this theory, including inconsistencies in eyewitness accounts and discrepancies in official records. The book also explores the political climate of the time and the motivations of those involved in Ney's supposed execution. This book is considered a classic of historical revisionism and continues to be debated by historians and scholars.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
