The battle that ended an era by an eye witness
This is a superb account of one of the pivotal battles of the
Napoleonic Wars Leipzig the so called 'Battle of the Nations'. It
was here in 1813, after Napoleon's disastrous Russian campaign that
the great allied powers of Europe brought him to account and where
he suffered the defeat which would herald his ruin, bring an end to
the First Empire and the demise of an epoch. What makes this book
utterly compelling is that it is told as part history, part
firsthand experience, by someone who was at the very heart of the
turmoil within the city itself. Observations from high vantage
points enabled the author to witness and then graphically describe
the maelstrom of battle as it swirled about him and--more
dangerously as it swept in to touch and threaten his very life.
This book is an essential component of every library of Napoleonic
history and is available in softcover or hardback with dust jacket.
