About this audiobook
Jean-Roch Coignet served under Napoleon from 1799 to 1815, fighting in 16 campaigns and 48 battles. Rising from an ordinary grenadier to a captain, he witnessed the rise and fall of the French Empire firsthand.
His memoirs take listeners through legendary battles including Austerlitz, Jena, Eylau, Friedland, Borodino, Leipzig, and Waterloo, offering vivid descriptions of military life, the horrors of war, and his remarkable survival through history's defining moments.
Written by a man who fought in the ranks rather than commanded from headquarters, Coignet's account provides one of the most authentic and personal perspectives on the Napoleonic Wars ever published. Now, let us ride with Jean-Roch Coignet into the campaigns that changed Europe forever.
