This is the contemporary account of Jakob Walter, a Westphalian
conscript in Napoleon's Grande Armee. Walter took part in the
Emperor's campaigns against Prussia, Austria and finally, the
disastrous Russian campaign of 1812. This is what it really meant
to "march with the Emperor." This volume is illustrated throughout
with the watercolours produced by Albrecht Adam, another German who
served in the ranks of Napoleon's armies, who witnessed many of the
same scenes as Jakob Walter. Together the text and illustrations
provide a powerful primary insight in to the events of 1812 as
witnessed by the men who were there. This book is part of the
'Military History From Primary Sources' series, a new military
history range compiled and edited by Emmy Award winning author and
historian Bob Carruthers. The series draws on primary sources and
contemporary documents to provide a new insight into the true
nature of warfare. The series consultant is David Mcwhinnie,
creator of the award winning PBS series 'Battlefield'.
