This is the first comprehensive history of the campaign that
determined control of Germany following Napoleon's catastrophic
defeat in Russia. Michael V. Leggiere reveals how, in the spring of
1813, Prussia, the weakest of the great powers, led the struggle
against Napoleon as a war of national liberation. Using German,
French, British, Russian, Austrian and Swedish sources, he provides
a panoramic history that covers the full sweep of the battle for
Germany from the mobilization of the belligerents, strategy, and
operations to coalition warfare, diplomacy, and civil-military
relations. He shows how Russian war weariness conflicted with
Prussian impetuosity, resulting in the crisis that almost ended the
Sixth Coalition in early June. In a single campaign, Napoleon drove
the Russo-Prussian army from the banks of the Saale to the banks of
the Oder. The Russo-Prussian alliance was perilously close to
imploding, only to be saved at the eleventh-hour by an armistice.
