Leipzig 1813 by Peter Hofschrer
A fully-illustrated and detailed account of this crucial moment of conflict, from origins to the battlefield today. The battle of Leipzig was, in terms of the number of combatants involved, the largest engagement of the entire Napoleonic Wars. It was the only battle of the wars in which all Allied armies (including even the Swedes) fielded troops against Napoleon. Peter Hofschroer looks at the run-up to this crucial encounter as well as the battle itself. A wealth of background information is chronicled, including the strategies of both sides and detailed information on each of the combatant forces. The numerous battles leading up to Leipzig are also discussed, providing a fascinating and illuminating overview of the whole campaign.
Peter Hofschroer is a recognised expert on the German campaigns of the Napoleonic wars and the Prussian army in particular.
