He brought extraordinary wealth, lived like a king, and became one of the most famous Frenchman in America. Bonaparte's Retreat tells the story of Joseph’s relationship with his famous brother, his escape to America, and the impact he had on America’s fascination with all things French. Jackie “O”, Sigmund Freud and a host of other characters make appearances.
