The narrative explores the dire circumstances faced by Napoleon following significant military defeats in Russia and Germany, leading to the disintegration of his empire. As he attempts to coordinate defenses from Paris, his marshals retreat under pressure, struggling against overwhelming Allied forces. The breakdown of command and conflicting strategies between Napoleon and his marshals create a tension-filled scenario where critical decisions about land and time could determine the fate of his reign.

This book provides the first complete English-language study of the invasion of France along a front that extended from Holland to Switzerland.
