Summary "Histoire du Consulat et de l'Empire, (Vol. 17/20)" by Adolphe Thiers is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The book delves into the events surrounding the Consulate and the Empire in France, focusing particularly on the military challenges and political dynamics during the time of Napoleon." "The beginning of this volume presents a detailed analysis of the grave circumstances faced by the French army around late 1813. Thiers covers the disarray of the troops returning to France after failed campaigns in Italy and Spain, highlighting the devastating losses and morale issues within the ranks. Key figures, such as Prince Eugène and Marshal Soult, attempt to navigate the precarious military landscape as their forces are outnumbered by the coalition armies. The narrative emphasizes the precarious state of the Empire, both militarily and politically, as discontent towards Napoleon grows among the populace due to ongoing losses and a longing for peace."
