The Post has some love for Napoleon — Ridley Scott’s epic new biography of the French Emperor.
And it turns out that Post publisher Alexander Hamilton and his immediate successor at the newspaper share very similar views.
When Napoleon’s army conquered Europe, The Post often denounced him as a tyrant and even as the devil himself.
Although Hamilton did not live to see the final defeat of his enemy at Waterloo, The Post cheered his fall and covered his humiliation and exile at Saint Helena.
Napoleon’s death in 1821 made the front page.
