About This Book

A detailed narrative of the closing phase of imperial rule recounts military disorganization after the Rhine campaign, setbacks in Italy and Spain, and the retreats of forces under commanders such as Eugène, Soult and Suchet. It traces secret and formal negotiations with coalition powers, the shifting coalition politics that nullified early peace offers, and the internal measures taken in response: large levies, new taxes, and emergency mobilization and equipping of troops. The account concludes with the concentration of forces toward Paris, the legislative reactions in the capital, and the ruler's final departure to join the front.
