Summary "Memoirs of Napoleon Bonaparte — Volume 07" by Louis Antoine Fauvelet de Bourrienne is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The memoirs provide an intimate and detailed perspective on the life and activities of Napoleon Bonaparte, focusing particularly on his rise to power, political strategies, and the conflicts between France and other European powers. The narrative is delivered from the viewpoint of Bourrienne, who served as Napoleon's private secretary, offering insights into historical events, personal interactions, and the political atmosphere of the time. The opening of this volume sets the stage for a critical examination of the international tensions surrounding the peace of Amiens, particularly the diplomatic and military relationships between France and England. It details the maneuvers of Mr. Pitt, the English government’s grievances over Malta, and the implications of Napoleon's ambitions on the continent. At the start, Bourrienne recounts discussions regarding the precariousness of the treaty and highlights Bonaparte’s response to the growing hostilities with England, underscoring his resolve to defend French honor and interests. This initial portion paints a vivid picture of the political climate in which Napoleon operated and illustrates the complexities of the diplomatic landscape at the time.
