OverviewIn 1814, after two successive years of defeat in Russia and central Europe, Napoleon was faced with the ultimate disaster - an Allied invasion of France itself. The conduct of the intense, fast-moving campaign that followed has been widely hailed as one of his greatest feats as a commander, yet it has rarely been described fully and objectively. Andrew Uffindell, in this gripping and original study, reconstructs the campaign, reassesses Napoleon's military leadership and provides a masterly account of a campaign that helped shape modern Europe. AUTHOR: Andrew Uffindell is a leading British military historian and one of the outstanding modern writers on the Napoleonic Wars. His most recent books include Napoleon's Immortals, a major reassessment of the Imperial Guard using previously unpublished material from the French archives, and The National Army Museum Book of Wellington's Armies, which was part of a series that collectively won the Royal United Services Institute's Duke of Westminster Medal for Military Literature.
