"Mémoires du général baron de Marbot (2/3)" by Marbot is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work details the experiences of Baron de Marbot, a French general during the tumultuous Napoleonic Wars, particularly focusing on the events unfolding in Spain and Portugal. The narrative provides an insider's perspective on military strategies, political intrigues, and significant battles of the era, emphasizing the challenges faced by the French army amidst rising local resistance. At the start of the memoirs, the author sets the historical context by discussing the political climate of Portugal and Spain around the time of the Treaties of Tilsitt. He describes the instability in both nations, highlighting the roles of figures such as Junot, Godoy, and Ferdinand VII. The opening chapters paint a vivid picture of the tensions leading to the revolutions in Aranjuez and Madrid, capturing the chaos as Ferdinand ascends to power and the French army's precarious position. Marbot details the intricacies of his military engagements and the societal upheaval, laying the groundwork for the struggles that ensue as Spain grapples with foreign domination and nascent nationalism.
