| Summary | "Histoire du Consulat et de l'Empire, (Vol. 10 / 20)" by Adolphe Thiers is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This volume delves into the political and military affairs of France during the period of Napoleon Bonaparte's rule, focusing particularly on the intricacies of diplomatic relations, military strategy, and the socio-political landscape of Europe in 1809. The book presents a detailed examination of Napoleon’s return to Paris from Spain and the mounting tensions with Austria that would lead to renewed conflict. The opening of the work sets the stage by detailing the context of Napoleon’s sudden return to Paris in January 1809, driven by alarming reports of escalating tensions in Europe, particularly with Austria. Thiers outlines the growing dissent regarding the Spanish campaign, the internal unrest in France, and the discontent among political figures like Talleyrand and Fouché. As Napoleon grapples with the precarious state of his empire, the narrative introduces his swift military preparations in response to the accumulating threats, foreshadowing the impending conflict while also capturing the precarious balance of power within both France and Europe.
