The Memoirs of General the Baron De Marbot
Oliver C. Colt Manufacturer: Kessinger Publishing ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 1419172166 |
Book Description
All the armed forces were set in motion for this war. I regretted that I was not involved; and being destined to carry back to my regiment the knowledge I had acquired at the school, I saw myself condemned to spend several years in the depot with a whip in my hand, making recruits trot round on elderly horses, while my comrades were fighting at the head of troops which I had trained. I did not find this prospect very pleasant, but how was it to be changed? A regiment must always be fed with recruits, and it was certain that my colonel, having sent me to the school of cavalry to learn how to train these recruits, would not deprive himself of the services which I could render in this respect, and would keep me out of the fighting squadrons.Download Description

The Memoirs of Baron De Marbot
Baron de Marbot Manufacturer: Kessinger Publishing, LLC ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 1432626698 |
Book Description
1894. The Memoirs of Baron de Marbot is considered to be one of the best written and most informative of all the memoirs to come out of the Napoleonic period. The book is an autobiographic account of Marbot's life, which begins from his birth in 1782 to this death in 1854. Marbot was a Lieutenant-General in the French Army and aide de camp to several of Napoleon's Marshals. He went on more than one mission for the Emperor himself. He fought in nearly every campaign, from 1800 through Waterloo, and was present at many of the big battles of the era, usually in a position to give insights into core level decisions. This is definitely a must read for anyone interested in Napoleonic history.

Download Description
General, later the Baron, Marbot, came from a family which might be described as landed gentry. His father served in the bodyguard of Louis XV and later in the Republican army. Marbot himself was a soldier from the age of 17 and fought in the wars of the Republic and the campaigns of Napoleon. His memoirs were written for his family and his intimate circle, without thought of publication, and it was not until after his death in 1854 that his family were persuaded to offer the manuscript to publishers.
