Shannon interviewed on American History Hit

I recently had the pleasure of being interviewed by Don Wildman for an episode of the American History Hit podcast. The episode is entitled “Napoleon in America” and it is described as follows:

Napoleon Bonaparte. From military leader to revolutionary to Emperor of the French, his conquests and reforms have had a lasting impact across the world. But what impact did he have on the United States? And what if he had completed the journey across the Atlantic?

Don speaks to author Shannon Selin, whose book Napoleon in America imagines Napoleon’s life in the United States. Together, they discuss Napoleon’s relationship with and reputation in the United States, and the French people who did make the journey.
