The Memoirs of Chateaubriand Volume III

by François-René de Chateaubriand

Witness the fall of Napoleon from the eyes of one of his closest confidants. The third volume of François-René de Chateaubriand's Memoirs from Beyond the Grave covers the spectacular fall, exile, and death of Napoleon, and is replete with the author's trenchant views on the some of the most significant figures of his era, tinged with his signature melancholy. Chateaubriand was a French diplomat and writer who served as Napoleon's ambassador to Switzerland and Sweden. He was also a staunch critic of Napoleon's regime, and he eventually defected to the Allies.
