This book recounts the two tragic days of March 19 and 20, 1815, as witnessed by a grenadier of the National Guard stationed to protect the Tuileries and the royal family from an invading force. As political tensions rise and the reign of Napoleon nears its end, the author recounts the determination and resilience of the palace's defenders, the despondency of the royalists, and the emotional turmoil gripping the people of Paris during this pivotal moment in French history. The account provides a rare glimpse into the human side of this turbulent period, offering insights into the strength of national unity and the heavy toll it takes on the hearts and minds of those tasked with upholding it.
