Pour l'Empereur, la cavalerie est l'arme du commandement, elle doit le renseigner et lui permettre faire sentir son action, sa vision au cœur de l'engagement. Il faut disposer du plus d'escadrons possible pour parer un danger, profiter de la première opportunité ou créer l'événement au cours de la bataille. La nécessité de disposer d'une cavalerie rapide et manœuvrière (la cavalerie légère), d'une cavalerie de rupture (la cavalerie lourde) et d'une cavalerie d'exploitation pouvant occuper le terrain (la cavalerie de ligne, les dragons), est essentielle. Sa rapidité, fait de la cavalerie l'arme du chef, l'arme de crise par excellence. Ces considérations impériales sur le rôle de la cavalerie en général sont bien entendu applicables à la cavalerie de la Garde qui se révèle bien, de par sa nature même de phalange de recours, comme étant l'arme suprême du commandement que l'on emploie au mieux des circonstances.

Le 20 avril 1814, Napoléon annonçait aux soldats de sa Garde rassemblés à Fontainebleau : " Je saurai occuper encore noblement mes instants ; j'écrirai mon histoire et la vôtre." La garde impériale. Un corps mythique qui, deux siècles après son épopée, fascine toujours autant. Comme la prêtrise, la Garde a imprimé son empreinte sur tous ses membres : on a eu l'honneur d'en être, on en est resté tant qu'on respirait ... De la plaine glacée d'Austerlitz au col de Somosierra en Espagne, des ponts de la Bérézina au dernier carré de Waterloo, rarement unité militaire aura été aussi attachée à la personne d'un souverain. Ils étaient grenadiers, chasseurs à cheval, lanciers polonais ou pontonniers ; ils ont servi dans l'administration, l'état-major, l'artillerie, la cavalerie, la marine ou l'infanterie de la Garde, dressant leurs baïonnettes contre les ennemis de l'Empire. Afin de revivre cette glorieuse page d'histoire militaire, un chapitre complet est consacré à chacune de ces unités ; faisant de cette Garde impériale un ouvrage de référence accessible à tous

Between the outbreak of war with Austria in 1792 and Napoleon's final debacle in 1814, France remained almost continously at war, recruiting in the process some two to three million frenchmen--a level of recruitment unknown to previous generations and widely resented as an attack on the liberties of rural communities. Forrest challenges the notion of a nation heroically rushing to arms by examining the massive rates of desertion and avoidance of service as well as their consequences on French society--on military campaigns and the morale of armies, on political opinion at home, on the social fabric of local villages, and on the Napoleonic dream of bringing about a coherent and centralized state.

Brill’s Companion to the Reception of Alexander the Great offers a considerable range of topics, of interest to students and academics alike, in the long tradition of this subject’s significant impact, across a sometimes surprising and comprehensive variety of areas. Arguably no other historical figure has cast such a long shadow for so long a time. Every civilisation touched by the Macedonian Conqueror, along with many more that he never imagined, has scrambled to “own” some part of his legacy. This volume canvasses a comprehensive array of these receptions, beginning from Alexander’s own era and journeying up to the present, in order to come to grips with the impact left by this influential but elusive figure.

This book contains the memoirs of Stendahl or in his own words the 'chatter about his private life' between 1821 and 1830. It was between these dates that he moved to Paris and here looks back on his life as an eccentric bachelor. 'As well as Beyle the clairvoyant self-investigator, the sardonic analyst of Parisian salon society and deliberate cultivator of wit, here emerges Beyle the despairing lover, the shakespearean enthusiast, whose romantic sentiment run always parallel with his eighteenth-century logic'. Marie-Henri Beyle - better-known by his pen name, Stendhal - was born in Grenoble, France in 1783. He turned to writing after the final defeat of Napoleon in 1815, notable works include A Life of Rossini (1824), A Life of Napoleon (1929) and The Red and the Black published in 1830. A number of works were published posthumously, including Lamiel (1889), Memoirs of an Egotist (1892) and Lucien Leuwen (1894). Stendhal is now regarded as one of the earliest and foremost practitioners of literary realism.

Napoleon's Imperial Guard was the elite corps of the French Army. The Guard differed from the guard corps of other European sovereigns of the period, in that its function was rather functional than ceremonial, and its expansion was such that it came to represent a considerable portion of France's military establishment. By supplying personnel to other units, it functioned as a training school for the remainder of the army, yet the elite status of the guard did little to protect its soldiers from the rigours of combat in the brutal Napoleonic Wars.
