This book describes the once and future emperor’s trip up the Route Napoleon from his landing near Antibes to the moment he enters Paris. The question is, why does this book even exist? The journey along the Route Napoleon was not, in itself, significant enough to warrant book-length treatment. It ends with the statement, “To have done it [make a bloodless march on Paris] in a mere twenty days is one thing. To form a government , quite another. And much more problematic.” Perhaps the author intended to write another book about Napoleon’s effort to form a government, but was prevented from doing so by his own death in 2005.

The dramatic story of Napoleon's escape from Elba and march on Paris--in the words of eyewitnesses and participants. Drawing on hundreds of firsthand accounts by Napoleon's supporters and opponents, Paul Britten Austin recreates the drama of those tumultuous days of the spring of 1815 and throws light on the mixed French response to the unexpected return of their former emperor. 1815: The Return of Napoleon recreates, in the words of those present, Napoleon's dramatic landing at Antibes in the south of France; the first heady days of his arrival after almost a year of exile; his almost miraculous march across France; his arrival in Paris; and the coup which led to the fall of the Bourbons. Paul Britten Austin, author of an acclaimed trilogy on Napoleon's invasion of Russia, brings historical events to life and gives a dramatic insight into the hopes and fears of the French nation in that spring of 1815.
