"Histoire du Consulat et de l'Empire" by Adolphe Thiers is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This work is the third volume in a series that delves into the events surrounding the rise of the French Consulate and the subsequent period of the Empire under Napoleon Bonaparte. The main focus lies on the political intricacies, diplomatic challenges, and key military engagements that defined this era, particularly regarding France's ambitions in places like Egypt. The opening of this volume sets the stage for a significant diplomatic negotiation centered on the influence of Paul I's death on Franco-Russian relations and the impact on the broader European context. It outlines the precarious situation in Egypt after the death of General Kléber, with internal divisions among the French commanders leading to a dire military position against the British. The narrative introduces key figures such as Duroc, who is dispatched to gain insights from Russia, and highlights the tensions and expectations surrounding France's next military and diplomatic moves, creating a backdrop of uncertainty that will shape the strategic decisions of the Consulate.
