Correspondance Générale de Napoléon Bonaparte. Volume 10. Un Grand Empire: March 1810 – March 1811.

Volume 10 of the Correspondance Générale de Napoléon Bonaparte covers what Thiers called “a quiet year” in the history of the Empire, the period from March 1810 to March 1811. Its editors, Annie Jourdan, professor at the University of Amsterdam, and Michel Roucaud, of the Service Historique de la Défense, have shone their spotlight on some 3,214 letters. The imperial missives, which come from the main French and European archival centres, are accompanied by appendices and maps that reveal the enormity of the work accomplished by Napoleon during these thirteen months.
