Loraine Petre is widely recognised as the father of Napoleonic Wars history writing. In this volume on the Emperor's last campaign in Germany - the scene of so many of his previous triumphs - Petre pictures Bonaparte at bay, with his Grande Armee decimated by the disastrous retreat from Moscow. Napoleon was fighting off overwhelming odds in a series of battles at Saale, Lutzen, Bautzen, Dresden, Dennewitz - culminating at the great 'Battle of the Nations' at Leipzig when he faced a massive defeat which propelled him along the road back to Paris and abdication. | NAPOLEON'S LAST CAMPAIGN IN GERMANY by Loraine Petre, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
