The Memoirs of Napoleon, Volume 11, 1812 is a historical account of the life of Napoleon Bonaparte, as written by his personal secretary Louis Antoine Fauvelet de Bourrienne. This volume specifically covers the year 1812, which was a significant year in Napoleon's career as it marked his invasion of Russia. The book provides a detailed narrative of Napoleon's military campaigns, including his strategies, victories, and defeats. It also sheds light on Napoleon's personal life, including his relationships with his family, friends, and lovers. Throughout the book, de Bourrienne offers his own insights and observations on Napoleon's character and actions, providing a unique perspective on one of the most influential figures in European history. The Memoirs of Napoleon, Volume 11, 1812 is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the life and legacy of Napoleon Bonaparte.The commencement of 1811 was sufficiently favourable to the French arms in Spain, but towards the beginning of March the aspect of affairs changed. The Duke of Belluno, notwithstanding the valour of his troops, was unsuccessful at Chiclana; and from that day the French army could not make head against the combined forces of England and Portugal.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
