This final chapter begins with Napoleon, who was hit in ankle in one of the battles in Spain. But after occupying Vienna there was crucial battle of Wagram, French victory. Even so there were moment like one of Marshal Lannes, who lost his both legs by cannon boll. And even he, ruler had dismissed Bernadotte from army during battle.
Emperor has child with countess Walewska at that time. But He divorced Josephine in order to get male hair or as he thought. So he marred Marie Louise.
Fouché was dismissed from his position for plotting with Talleyrand and willing to negotiate with English. Napoleon chose General Savary for his successor.
Also there was attempt for piece between France and Russia trough negotiations among Kurakin, Talleyrand and Napoleon. However it has led to nothing more than “Russian campaign of 1812 “. It was at that time that Napoleon, somehow has grown to appreciate Poles as allies and was demanding that east Lands of formal Poland has to be given back, by Russia.
So then, Wellington took charge of Spanish captain and fortunately, has won it. And if not minor miracles of General Eblé and Michel Ney or Marshal Poniatowski, no Frenchman would return from Russian Capain.
In addition, Metternich, just like Talleyrand, has beend advising Napoleon on stable, peace based European politics.
However, the best of these who served France and Napoleon has left him for exile as he had to abdicate because of his actions that has been War. Not for long though as he apparently appears again as French leader.
Napoleon started battle of waterloo with Polish Lancers alongside. And after all, he has remembered his friend from school years, Arthur who played violin at that time.
And finally, Napoleon has gone to final exile, at St. Hellena Island, and died after six years. Arthur, on the other hand, lived two more decades.
Thus my sympathies goes to Arthur.
Overall these series of books has been very good with historical accuracy.
