Summary "Histoire du Consulat et de l'Empire" by Adolphe Thiers is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This volume, the final installment in a comprehensive series, delves into the events surrounding the Napoleonic era, particularly focusing on the critical battle of Waterloo in 1815. The narrative likely explores themes of military strategy, politics, and the implications of Napoleon's decisions on the French Empire and its enemies during this tumultuous period. At the start of this volume, the author presents the buildup to the battle of Waterloo, detailing Napoleon's preparations and the forces he had assembled for the campaign. Thiers elaborates on Napoleon's military strategies, including the immediate offensive strategy he opted for despite the potential risks of facing the British and Prussian forces simultaneously. The opening section sets the stage for a detailed analysis of troop movements, the dynamics between various commanders, and the critical decisions made by Napoleon leading up to one of history's most significant battles.
