The Note Books of Captain Coignet The self-written autobiography of an Illiterate peasant that rises to the rank of Captain in Napoleon's Old Guard. Coignet fought in every major battle from 1799 to Waterloo under Napoleon. This is the story of a man who captures Austrian artillery batteries by himself, stabs Prussian officers in the face for honour's sake, unhorses Russian generals, and is an intimate witness at some of the most pivotal moments of the Napoleonic Era. He survived 16 campaigns and 48 major battles without a scratch. When first published, his story was so wondrous people thought it was a fabrication until many veterans and historical figures corrobated that, yes, Coignet did exist and, yes, he did do all he wrote. Without exaggeration, Jean Roch Coignet was to Napoleon what Ramirez was to COD: MW2. Barrakketh fucked around with this message at 19:30 on Jun 11, 2019 |
