Excerpt from The Imperial Guard of Napoleon, From Marengo to Waterloo Great revolutions develop great military leaders, in whose single person seems to centre the destiny of the struggle. In their rapid advance to power, there is usually developed, also, a military body distinguished for its invincibility, in whose keeping the fate of the leader seems especially to be placed. Thus, in the first civil war of England, Cromwell suddenly vaulted to power from the obscurity of a country farmer. At the same time his Ironsides, although never trained in military schools - became the most terrible body of cavalry the nation had ever known. Bonaparte, from a poor lieutenant, leaped almost at a bound to the head of an empire. With his first victories commenced the organization of the corps which afterwards became the Old Guard, an army in itself, and the firmest prop of his throne. Victory perched with its eagles, and he always held it in reserve till the last decisive moment came. Again and again he flung his crown into its invincible squares, and saw it with calm confidence carry his empire into the tossing tides of battle.

This narrative account of three Napoleonic battles adheres rather closely to the Aristotelian configuration of evolving tragedy. The historian succeeds in presenting herein events and character not only in historical reality but also in unities employed by the artist or tragedian. For a beginning of this lively, military story, Harold T. Parker chooses a portrayal of Napoleon at the height of his power, the battle of Friedland. The middle episode is concerned with Napoleon in his first serious personal check, the battle of Aspern-Essling. To complete the unity and to conclude the tragic progression, the author resurveys the episode of Napoleon's final defeat at the battle of Waterloo.
