8.75 x 5.5 in. (Greenhill Books Napoleonic Library)

The Memoirs of Baron de Marbot, which is published in two volumes, is considered to be one of the best written and most informative of all the memoirs to come out of the Napoleonic period.  Together, the two volumes constitute autobiographic account of Marbot's life, which begins from his birth in 1782 to his death in 1854. (Unfortunately, Marbot died before he could finish his memoirs and he was only able to complete them through Napoleon's first abdication. The remainder of his life, to include his participation in the Battle of Waterloo, were compiled from relative correspondence and constitute the epilog of volume 2.

Volume 2 commences with Marbot's adventures during the Battle of Wagram, Campaign of 1809, and concludes with the epilog mentioned above.

This is possibly the best written, most exciting, swashbuckling book on the Napoleonic Wars that you will ever read.
