The Republic was not overthrown in a night. It was voted away, sworn away, and cheered away.

Étienne-Marie Reynaud set the Rights of Man in lead with his own hands. A printer's son from Lyon, a captain of the 18th of the Line, he has starved on the walls of Genoa for a Republic that could not feed him - and when one man offers France order in place of chaos, Reynaud votes yes.

What follows are the years he will remember, at the end of everything, as the happiest of his life. Forty thousand men swearing to an eagle in the rain on the Champ de Mars. The fog at Austerlitz. The frozen slaughter at Eylau, where he loses the use of a hand. A burning bridge at Ebersberg, a cemetery wall at Aspern, and the largest battle men had ever fought, at Wagram. Promotion, a cross on his chest, and the terrible joy of being used perfectly by something far greater than himself.

It costs him Rosalie, the one person who believed the same pure thing in 1792 and would not bend. It costs him the word he loved.

Written in Lyon in 1842 by an old man with nothing left to protect, The Sacred Crusade is the confession of a believer who was not dragged into empire but carried there, gladly - and who helped carry everyone else.
