"Histoire du Consulat et de l'Empire, (Vol. 10 / 20)" by Adolphe Thiers is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This volume delves into the political and military affairs of France during the period of Napoleon Bonaparte's rule, focusing particularly on the intricacies of diplomatic relations, military strategy, and the socio-political landscape of Europe in 1809.

The opening of the work sets the stage by detailing the context of Napoleon's sudden return to Paris in January 1809, driven by alarming reports of escalating tensions in Europe, particularly with Austria.
