'Fills a very noticeable gap in the history of the Napoleonic Wars
by providing a good description of what it was like to be a member
of the Royal Bavarian Army.' HistoryNet. The letters and diaries of
Lieutenant Franz Joseph Hausmann are here placed in the context of
the military events of the period by renowned historian John Gill.
They stem from Hausmann's first campaign in 1805 in the war against
Austria, followed by the 1806 and 1807 campaigns in Prussia and
Poland. In 1809 he was in action against the Tyrolean insurrection
and he also fought at Abensberg and Zniam. He was only twenty-three
when he embarked on the ill-fated 1812 invasion of Russia and
served as part of the Bavarian corps that was shattered in this
cataclysmic campaign. He survived to describe the 1813 campaign and
the 1814 campaign in France when the Bavarians switched sides and
fought against Napoleon. With additional commentary by John Gill on
the Bavarian Army and its campaigns and battles, this book is an
important, authoritative addition to the works on the Napoleonic
Wars.
