First-hand account of the career of Général Jean Rapp, Napoleon's leading staff officer, written and published two years after the Emperor's death in 1821 with the series title 'Memoirs of contemporaries to support the history of the Republic and the Empire'. Rapp saved the life of the Emperor on more than one occasion, and was present at the battles of Austerlitz (1805), Jena (1806) and Borodino (1812), where he sustained several wounds. In his birthplace of Colmar a statue in his honour stands on the Champ de Mars.
