The first comprehensive history of the decisive Fall Campaign of
1813, which determined control of Central Europe following
Napoleon's catastrophic defeat in Russia the previous year. Using
German, French, British, Russian, Austrian and Swedish sources,
Michael V. Leggiere provides a panoramic history which covers the
full sweep of the struggle in Germany. He shows how Prussia, the
weakest of the Great Powers, led the struggle against Napoleon and
his empire. By reconstructing the principal campaigns and
operations in Germany, the book reveals how the defeat of Napoleon
in Germany was made possible by Prussian victories. In particular,
it features detailed analysis of the strategy, military operations,
and battles in Germany that culminated with the epic four-day
Battle of Nations at Leipzig and Napoleon's retreat to France. This
study not only highlights the breakdown of Napoleon's strategy in
1813, but constitutes a fascinating study in coalition warfare,
international relations, and civil-military relations.
