The operational analysis, particularly of Leipzig, is also unusually clear. This volume will - indeed must - be consulted by anyone seeking to understand the nature of war in the Napoleonic era.' Dennis E. Showalter, author of Frederick the Great: A Military History Advance praise: 'Michael Leggiere offers a fascinating dissection of the 1813 campaign, both military and diplomatic, that culminated in Napoleon's defeat at Leipzig. He emphasizes the role played by Prussia, still eager to avenge the humiliation of Jena, and military historians will especially relish his mastery of strategy, tactics and operational art.' Alan Forrest, author of Napoleon: Life, Legacy, and Image: A Biography Advance praise: 'Professor Leggiere has contributed immeasurably to the English-language scholarship on the Napoleonic 1813 campaign in Germany with this balanced sequel to his excellent operational and political study. The climatic fall 1813 campaign has long been ready for a reassessment and Leggiere has answered this need with a comprehensive operational-political history of Napoleon's great defeat from the perspective of the victors.' John T. Kuehn, author of A Military History of Japan: From the Age of the Samurai to the 21st Century Author InformationDr Michael V.
