• Sommario/riassunto: This book presents the memoirs of General Armand de Caulaincourt, Duke of Vicenza, providing a first-hand account of his close association with Napoleon Bonaparte during pivotal moments of the Napoleonic era. It covers Caulaincourt's experiences and insights during the Russian campaign and the abdication preceding Napoleon's exile to Elba. The memoirs delve into Caulaincourt's roles as Grand Ecuyer, Grand Marshal, and Minister for Foreign Affairs, offering a unique perspective on the political and military challenges faced by Napoleon and his empire. Edited and translated by George Libaire, the narrative strips away digressions to highlight the 'agony of the Empire,' as observed by Caulaincourt. This edition aims to provide a historical account for readers interested in Napoleonic history, military strategy, and diplomacy.
