Summary | "Histoire du Consulat et de l'Empire" by Adolphe Thiers is a comprehensive historical account written in the mid-19th century. The work delves into the events surrounding the French Consulate and the subsequent rise of the Empire under Napoleon Bonaparte, capturing the political, military, and social aspects of the era. As the narrative unfolds, it explores the complexities of military leadership through figures like General Kléber during the campaigns in Egypt. The opening of the volume presents the aftermath of General Bonaparte's departure from Egypt in August 1799, leading to a profound sense of loss within the French army. Kléber, now in command, struggles with the morale of his troops, who yearn to return home, displaying a mix of admiration and resentment towards Bonaparte. Kléber faces mounting pressures, both from internal divisions among his officers and the looming threats from Turkish forces. The narrative sets the stage for strategic negotiations and military confrontations, hinting at the challenges that Kléber and the army will encounter as they attempt to maintain French control in a volatile landscape.
