The account was written at the fallen Emperor's express command by Baron Fain, his Cabinet secretary. The book contains a facsimile of Napoleon's own handwriting in his (unreadable) instrument of abdication. The first part of the book chronicles Napoleon's movements and manoeuvres between November 1813 and January 1814 as he strove to avoid abdicating and drive wedges between the countries of the coalition which had overwhelmed him - Britain, Prussia, Russia, Austria and Sweden.

Finally, the third part of the book, describes the scene of the abdication at Fontainebleau, and an appendix lists the terms of Napoleon's surrender, which saw him exiled to a 'mini-kingdom' on the island of Elba - an exile which would detain him for just eleven months until his final hurrah in the 100 days ending at Waterloo.
