This book, concentrating on Savary's military career has been edited with supporting contextual passages describing events in Savary's multi-volume autobiography. The young Savary first fought as a cavalryman during the Revolutionary Wars with the Army of the Rhine, distinguishing himself during Moreau's strategic retreat through Swabia. During the Egyptian Campaign, he was promoted to chef d'escadron, then aide-de-camp to General Louis Desaix, in actions fought against the Mamelukes. Upon return to Europe, Savary was present at the Battle of Marengo and, having impressed Napoleon, was appointed commander of the Gendarmes d'匜ite. He was Promoted to General of Division in 1805.As Napoleon's aide-de-camp, before Austerlitz, he was sent to negotiate an armistice, though this was a ruse leading to a catastrophic enemy defeat.

Taking temporary command of Lannes' V Corps, he notably fought off a counter-offensive at Ostrolęka, whilst at Friedland, leading the Fusiliers of the Imperial Guard, Savary significantly mauled the Russian army.
