Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Fall of Napoleon This book is not intended to be a history of Europe between the years 1813 and 1815. It is a personal history of Napoleon during that period, and European affairs are only introduced so far as they are necessary for clearness. A vast amount of Napoleonic literature has been published during the last ten or fifteen years, and with the greater part of that literature the present writer claims to be acquainted. The result of this has been not only to bring to light many facts which were previously unknown, but to modify in many respects the judgments passed upon Napoleon´s actions by competent historians. For instance, no action of Napoleon has been more universally condemned than his refusal to accept terms of peace during the armistice of 1813, but the analysis of the policy of Metternich made by M. Albert Sorel in his last published volume has shown that it would have been impossible for Napoleon to have acted otherwise. It is believed that the result of these researches now finds place for the first time in an English book, and the view of Napoleon´s character and conduct, which is rather indicated in these pages than positively stated, is different to that generally held by English historians.
