About this audiobook
In this third and final part of the memoirs of General Jean-Baptiste de Marbot, the story enters one of the most dramatic periods in the history of Napoleonic France. Marbot takes the listener from the final days of his service under Marshal Masséna into the vast campaign of 1812, the march across the Niemen, and the terrible retreat from Russia.
He continues through the battles of 1813 in Germany — Lutzen, Bautzen, Dresden, Leipzig, and Hanau — offering vivid scenes from a collapsing empire and a soldier’s view of loyalty tested by hardship, desertion, and the shifting allegiances of Europe.
The narrative then turns to the defence of France in 1814, where Napoleon, with dwindling forces and surrounded by enemies, conducts one of the most brilliant and desperate campaigns of his life. Finally, Marbot’s voice brings us to the eve of Waterloo and the end of an era, followed by his personal letters from 1815 and reflections on a lifetime spent in arms.
