| Summary |
"Mémoires du duc de Rovigo, pour servir à l'histoire de l'empereur Napoléon" is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The book delves into the military and political intricacies surrounding Emperor Napoleon's campaigns, providing insights from the perspective of the author, who served closely alongside the emperor. At the start of the memoirs, the narrative sets the stage for the military tensions in Europe, particularly highlighting the threats posed by Austria and the administrative preparations under Napoleon’s directive for a possible conflict. The Duc de Rovigo recalls the strategic movements of troops along the Vistule River and the emperor's meticulous planning as he sought to reinforce French positions in the face of growing opposition, including actions taken to solidify control over regions in Prussia and the necessity for administrative oversight in recently acquired territories. Through these first pages, readers are introduced to the significant military maneuvers that not only reveal the political climate of the time but also the emperor's overarching strategies and concerns regarding France's position in Europe.
