After Napoleon Bonaparte's defeat at Waterloo (1815), the British government exiled him to the island of St Helena, where he forged a friendship with Betsy Balcombe (later Abell, 1802-71), the thirteen-year-old daughter of the government official in whose premises he stayed while Longwood House was being prepared as his residence. In these vivid memoirs, first published in 1844, Abell recalls her time spent with Napoleon, painting a portrait of a humorous and boyish character, of whom she was initially afraid, but then came to view as a friend and companion. Recounting his arrival, his opinions on music, wine and religion, his thoughts on his surrender and his battle tactics, his way of life, and his departure for his permanent incarceration at Longwood, Abell's recollections, which offer an unusual view of one of the most significant figures of modern history, have since inspired many documentaries, dramas and children's stories.

Pour la première fois, les textes les plus intéressants de Napoléon sont rassemblés avec l’indication précise de leur provenance et avec un souci de cohérence, selon le plan du traité de De la guerre de Clausewitz. Le résultat est étonnant d’actualité et de profondeur humaine. Napoléon fait réfléchir sur la nature de la guerre, la tactique et la stratégie, l’art de remporter les batailles, les guerres civiles… Tout ce qu’il dit des qualités d’un chef de guerre peut s’appliquer aujourd’hui à un officier en opérations. La maîtrise qu’il a pu exercer dans ce domaine transparaît et frappe toujours par sa vérité. La façon dont il envisage les relations entre théorie et pratique, entre les « principes » et les « circonstances », peut s’appliquer à toute action collective finalisée en milieu conflictuel. Pour offrir au lecteur un livre de références, Bruno Colson a consulté non seulement toutes les sources publiées mais aussi certains manuscrits comme ceux des généraux Bertrand et Gourgaud, compagnons de Sainte-Hélène, ce qui lui a permis de découvrir des maximes et pensées inédites.
