Conan Doyle and Napoleon with Cliff Goldfarb

This episode, we are delighted to welcome to the podcast Clifford S. Goldfarb, author of The Great Shadow (1997), to talk about Conan Doyle and Napoleon. As we mentioned in Episode 10, Conan Doyle had a life-long fascination with the Napoleonic era which began at his mother's knee, with tales of family members at Waterloo, and found its release in some of his finest historical works. We talk to Cliff about his interest in Conan Doyle's Napoleonic works, including the Brigadier Gerard stories, his collection of books, documents and notebooks and his many projects.   The episode can be heard here: https://doingsofdoyle.podbean.com/.
