Blaze's memoirs are one of the most fascinating recollections of
the Napoleonic Wars ever to be published. Written by an officer of
wide experience and colourful style, this memoir presents an
outstanding picture of the First Empire, providing an officer's
perspective of the character, customs and mode of operation of the
French army. Its value is enriched and enlivened by anecdotes from
the authors own experiences. Blaze entered the army as a youth, via
the Imperial Guard elite organisation, a path only open to those of
some wealth. After gaining his commission as an officer, he served
in the campaigns from Poland in 1807 to the fall of France in 1814.
The wide range and extent of his service made Blaze perfectly
suited to produce a record of Napoleon's army during this climactic
period.
