Hello Mr. Cornwell, Kudos again for all your wonderful books and for this wonderful website! As always, I learn a great deal every time I reread one of your books. I recently used information from several of them in a lecture on England and France in the early 19th c. My question: a Pierre Roger Ducos lived during the Napoleonic wars and was active in the French government during the Revolution and through the time of Waterloo. Is your Pierre Ducos based on Pierre Roger Ducos or is your Ducos totally a figment of your creativity? Thanks! Professor Catherine Helgeland
