About This Book

A detailed set of memoirs combining diplomatic reporting and military narration from an eyewitness of the campaigns and negotiations around 1800–1801, covering preliminary peace talks with Austria and Britain, proposals for a naval armistice, land armistices, and thorough accounts of operations in Italy and Germany, including army movements, river crossings, sieges, battles, and logistical and political observations; the narrative alternates factual chronology with tactical analysis and reflections on command decisions.
