When Tony Perrottet heard that Napoleon's "baguette" had
been stolen by his disgruntled doctor a few days after the
Emperor's death, he rushed out to New Jersey. Why? Because
that's where an eccentric American collector who had
purchased Napoleon's member at a Parisian auction now kept
the actual relic in an old suitcase under his bed.
The story of Napoleon's privates triggered Perrottet's
quest to research other such exotic sagas from history, to
discover the actual evidence behind the most famous age-old
mysteries: Did Churchill really send condoms of a
surprising size to Stalin? Were champagne glasses really
molded upon Marie Antoinette's breasts? What was JFK's real
secret service? What were Casanova's best pickup lines?
Napoleon's Privates is filled with offbeat, riotously
entertaining anecdotes that are guaranteed to amaze, shock,
and enliven any dinner party.
