The Memoirs of Baron de Marbot, Volume II
The Austrian Campaign and the Peninsular WarBy Jean-Baptiste Antoine Marcellin de MarbotRecorded TrackLength14h 5m
About this audiobook
In his memoirs, Baron Jean-Baptiste Antoine Marcellin de Marbot looks back on a life that spanned one of the most turbulent and extraordinary periods in European history. Born in 1782 in Corrèze, France, Marbot grew up amid the storms of the French Revolution. He witnessed the fall of the monarchy, the rise of the Republic, the glory and collapse of Napoleon’s Empire, and the return of the Bourbons.
In this second volume of his memoirs, Baron de Marbot carries us deeper into the heart of Napoleon’s wars. No longer the eager young officer of Volume I, Marbot now rides through the fires of Europe as a seasoned cavalry commander — facing brutal winters, desperate battles, and the shifting fortunes of an Empire at its height. From the sweeping plains of Central Europe to the blood-soaked snows of Russia, his story becomes darker, harder, and more urgent. Yet through it all, Marbot’s courage, quick wit, and unshakable loyalty to his comrades never fade.
