520 $aWho were really Napoleon's marshals? Why do they keep still a place in the history of France? They are known for their bravery and military exploits. They are a caste that Napoleon shaped, rewarded, but much criticized. Their behavior vis-à-vis the Emperor, their wives, their soldiers, their greed, their pride, are all themes that the author develops in his book. In every man lies a dark side where it mingles with the courage weakness, anger, selfishness, honesty treason. The dark side of the marshals, this is all that is less known to them, the good and the bad. This is the subject of this book, the story of ordinary men who became giants.
