However, the two sections are complete in themselves and include the phases of Caulaincourt's most intimate association with Napoleon - the Russian campaign and the abdication before Elba...The present volume has been translated from L'Agonie de Fontainebleau, under which title the later portion of the memoirs first appeared in the monumental Paris edition of 1933..." Illustrated with few b/w photographic reproductions. From the original memoirs as edited by Jean Hanoteau. Translated, edited and with an introduction by George Libaire Fine condition. vg.
