Résumé
"Mémoires du maréchal Marmont, duc de Raguse (4/9)" by Marmont is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The book provides a detailed narrative of the military campaigns and events during Marmont's service, particularly focusing on the Peninsular War between France and the Iberian powers. As a central figure, Marmont serves as both a commander and a chronicler of this tumultuous period, analyzing the strategies, conflicts, and personalities encountered throughout the war. The opening of the memoir reveals Marmont's intent to give a comprehensive overview of the military situation from 1811 to 1812, specifically examining the failures and missteps of Napoleon's campaigns in Spain and Portugal. He discusses the historical context of Spain's decline and the rise of its military and political struggles, leading into the complexities faced by French forces under his command. Marmont highlights the challenges they encountered, such as leadership rivalries, the insurrection of Spanish forces, and logistical difficulties, setting the stage for his further detailed reminiscences of pivotal battles and strategic decisions. This section outlines both the operational challenges on the battlefield and the broader implications of the conflicts on the European landscape. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
