About this ebook

Includes over 180 illustrations, portraits and maps covering the Russian Campaign of 1812.

“These Memoirs are the findings of a professional soldier, sitting in judgment upon the foremost soldier of fortune the world has known. But they are something more than that. They are the observations of a man of the Old Régime, whose lot had been cast in with the new Empire. The soldier who wrote them was a statesman as well—a diplomatist of the school of Talleyrand, but without any of that strange creature’s womanish ways. He was also—and one often feels the lack of this quality in memorialists who were near Napoleon—an administrator of sufficient skill to comprehend the Emperor’s plans, and to do justice to the recording of them. And finally, he was a man with physical energy enough to match, and on occasion to outdo, the Emperor’s own.”

Author

General Armand Augustin Louis de Caulaincourt

Armand-Augustin-Louis, Marquis de Caulaincourt, Duke of Vicenza (1773-1827) was a French soldier, diplomat, grand officer of the Grand Orient de France and close personal aide to Napoleon Bonaparte. Jean Hanoteau (1869-1939) was a French officer and historian, the son of General Adolphe Hanoteau, and the father of playwright, actor and journalist William Hanoteau. Upon entering the Saint-Cyr military school in 1892, he was promoted to captain in 1906 and became attached to the historical section of the War Ministry and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the cabinet of his cousin Gabriel Hanotaux. He wrote several historical works and participated in Historical Review (Éditions Presses Universitaires de France) from 1926 to 1936.

    I was taking Rather Green's class French Revoluition and Napoleon" and this was a book he suggested be read. It is an account of the invasion of Russia in 1812. Not a happy time for the suthor.
