description: Over wine in a café, after 70 years, many spent planting cabbages, Brigadier Gerard recounts his youthful peak aged 25. He faced certain death at every turn, while outwitting enemies of France. "Vive l'Emperor!" he cried across Europe. He knew his Hussar cavalry "rascals" would follow him, the best swordsman, rider, and wooer of ladies whether in Venice or Russia.1 How Brigadier Gerard Lost His Ear2 How the Brigadier Captured Saragossa3 How the Brigadier Slew the Fox4 How the Brigadier Saved the Army5 How the Brigadier Triumphed in England6 How the Brigadier Rode to Minsk7 How the Brigadier Bore Himself at Waterloo8 The Last Adventure of the Brigadier
