### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    A window into the past  well worh opening
  

*by J***O on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 March 2017*

Glimpses into the past are always fascinating but it is often hard to get past the language and writiung conventions of the time and see the individual. Coignet's account of a what must have been a hellish childhood and a tough life as a soldier is uttterly absorbing and it is very unuusl to find an account form one of the rank and file of that French military elite unit, the Imperial Guard. His account of the aftermath of the Royalist return with his making a life as a civilian in a society where he could be - and was - denounced as a traitor by any informer who wanted to make a bit of cash throws an insight into a situation which has become too familiar in the last century and in this. Definitley recommend this to anyone woith an interest in the period or in the life of someone who was despite all the odds a pretty decent human being

### ⭐⭐ 2.0 out of 5 stars

    An Officer of the Imperial Guard: Memoirs
  

*by J***M on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 January 2020*

Interesting but poor translation. Some doubt about the veracity of his early life but accounts of 1812 and Waterloo present the recollections of one participant with a limited view. Noteworty how much of a police state France became after Naploeon went on an all-expenses paid holiday in the South Atlantic.
