Riassunto

Founded on a wealth of primary source material, this is a unique account of a largely forgotten but highly significant conflict that resulted in Napoleon failing in his strategic objective of separating and defeating the Allied armies. Largely based on eye-witness accounts, unpublished documents, and other material from all the participating nations, and based on years of exhaustive research, this study challenges long-held assumptions and brings the battle to life in a dramatic, human style.

Recensione:

A work of impressive scholarship ... meticulously but not excessively referenced ... well-mapped and beautifully illustrated ... The book deserves a place on the shelves with the great historians of the battle of the first rank which followed it. --The Spectator, August '09

Testimonies, battlefield topography and knowledge of Napoleonic warfare have been used to explain the battle, which has been extensively researched by the author. --Skirmish Magazine, Nov 09
