Waterloo, Volume II by John Hussey

a coup d’état against the national sovereignty, an insurrection against legal authority, a crime of lèse-patrie, the most cowardly and foolish of aggressions against the sole man who could yet save the nation [sic]: this was the work of one who in the annals of his sad life registered three memorable dates: 5 October 1789, when he betrayed the king; 20 August 1792, when he went over to the enemy; 21 June 1815, when he dragged down the Emperor.¹⁸

After such warnings, and after the disappearance of ‘the sole man who could yet save the nation’, what could France expect from the vengeful and victorious Allies? Could any Frenchman undertake the task with any hope of success? Could any foreign statesman? Was France doomed to destruction? That must be the subject of a later chapter.
