"Terre Napoleón; a History of French Explorations and Projects in Australia" by Ernest Scott is a retelling of French voyages to Australia during Napoleon's time that aims to reshape how we understand these events. The book focuses on Captain Nicolas Baudin's explorations between 1800 and 1804 and presents the colonial ambitions and scientific discoveries of the French. Scott presents his goals and provides historical information to challenge previous narrative by presenting a fresh perspective on whether Baudin's mission was purely scientific or if it had the hidden goal of seizing territory.
