"Napoleon's Appeal to the British Nation, on His Treatment at Saint Helena" is a historical account written by Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, dictated as a formal memoir in 1817. The book details Napoleon's grievances regarding his treatment on the remote island of Saint Helena, where he was exiled after his abdication. This document serves as an appeal to public opinion in Britain, presenting his case for being treated with dignity and justice. In this poignant memoir, Napoleon outlines the harsh living conditions and inadequate provisions he faces at Longwood, where he was forced to reside under the supervision of British authorities. He describes the poor quality of food, the unsanitary conditions in which he lives, and the strict limitations imposed on his communication and freedom. Napoleon passionately argues against the legality of his captivity, asserting that he is not a prisoner in the traditional sense, but rather a victim of political machinations by European powers. The appeal reveals not only Napoleon's personal suffering but also reflects broader themes of power, dignity, and the treatment of political figures in exile.

Reading ease score: 52.0 (10th to 12th grade). Somewhat difficult to read.
