The Post had little love for Napoleon: Ridley Scott’s new epic biopic about the one-time emperor of France.
And it turns out that Post editor Alexander Hamilton and his immediate successors at the paper shared a fairly similar opinion.
As Napoleon’s armies conquered Europe, the Post periodically denounced him as a tyrant and even the devil himself.
