The Eagles at war for the future of Europe

This is a vital history of the battles and campaigns in Germany and France which led to the defeat of Napoleon written by an experienced British cavalry officer and diplomat who was present and actively engaged throughout them all. The authors unique position enabled him to write a superb account—part history, part personal experience—of these turbulent days of warfare that would result in the abdication of an emperor, the fall of the First Empire ,the occupation of Paris and the restoration of the Bourbon monarchy. This is the story of the "War of the Sixth Coalition" when the hereditary Imperial Crowns of Europe finally determined and achieved the downfall of the man they considered as a usurper and who had brought a continent to its knees and soaked it in blood for over a decade. There would be many a hard fought day before that came about and the Emperor had one final stroke of genius in war to display before it was over. An essential addition to every library of Napoleonic history. Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге Battle Imperial (Charles William Vane)
