These memoirs by Fleury de Chaboulon, a former secretary to Napoleon, recount the emperor's private life, return from Elba, and rule in 1815. Volume I mixes eyewitness recollection with political argument, aiming to correct hostile accounts by party writers. It is worth hearing for an insider's perspective on the dramatic events of the Hundred Days.
