En juillet 1815, le destin de Napoléon bascule une seconde fois. Déchu et désormais fugitif, il est contraint de faire un choix qui marquera la dernière partie de son existence : se rendre aux Anglais. En montant à bord du Bellerophon, puis du Northumberland, avec une suite de derniers fidèles, commence alors une aventure humaine autant que maritime qui se terminera à Sainte-Hélène. Ce huis clos de près de trois mois, rapporté par les commandants britanniques est rarement présenté aux lecteurs et se veut original en ce que la parole est donnée aux ennemis les plus implacables du régime impérial. Préfacés par le professeur Jean Tulard, ces deux témoignages nouvellement traduits présentent un épisode marquant de la vie de Napoléon, qui prépare le terme de son parcours et lance sa légende.
