The story opens in Revolutionary America shortly before the surrender of Yorktown, and closes at sea off the shores of St. Helena nearly forty years later. In the intervening space the scene has ranged from a great plantation house in Virginia to the decks of a Republican man-o'-war in the days of the Terror; from castle and château in Germany and France to Parisian school and English inn; from palace to prison bulk; from Napoleon's Imperial General Headquarters to the interior of the Nautilus, the submarine designed by Robert Fulton; from Welsh 'parole' town to the garden of the Governor of St. Helena. This book is the drama of love and conflicting loyalties, of the desire for vengeance, of the problem set by the fate of vanquished dictators and is is play out against a background which in many ways parallels the conditions from which we have begun to emerge. Publisher: Jonathan Cape, thirty Bedford Square, London, first published March 1944, second impression August 1944, third impression April 1946
