France and the roads of Europe, 1785 to 1827. A Corsican artillery lieutenant with no fortune learns a trade that is mostly arithmetic, and turns it into a way of moving two hundred thousand men faster than anyone can count them. The instrument is not genius but an office: a chief of staff who never gives an order of his own, a map table lit by candles, a courier relay, and a working day that begins at three in the morning. The office wins at Ulm and dies on the road from Moscow. Then the man is put on a rock in the South Atlantic with nothing left to command, and spends six years dictating the sentences by which everyone afterward would explain him. Covers Napoleon, Louis-Alexandre Berthier, and the Grande Armée.
