New book claims Napoleon's genocide 'on a par with Hitler'

Source: Telegraph (UK) (11-26-05)

A French historian has caused uproar by claiming Napoleon provided the model for Hitler's Final Solution with the slaughter of more than 100,000 Caribbean slaves.

In The Crime of Napoleon, Claude Ribbe accuses the emperor of genocide, gassing rebellious blacks more than a century before the Nazis' extermination of the Jews.

This is a disgrace! How can such rubbish be permitted to reach the public? This is all part of a plot by liberals from many countries to destroy the respect which many people have towards their great compatriots. Napoleon is a hero who did great things for Europe, do not be fooled by publicity stunts!

So now Napoleon is a anti-Liberal Traditionalist Preservationist?

Amazing how people change with age, especially after a few hundred years.

Not that all Europeans would agree with this. Fortunately he got his butt kicked out of Spain and Russia, but only after leaving much damage behind.

The debate is elsewhere IMO; it's not about the Napoleonian European campaigns, it's about Black lobbies (with some help I presume) trying to make revisionism with the history of my country, trashing the life of an illustre man.

The French of Napoleon got kicked out of Malta after a bloody revolt by the natives with British, Portuguese and Napolitan assistance if I'm correct. Too bad there were the British who in my opinion wrecked much damage to the mentality of the people and to our native culture.
