It is certainly very readable. But you might want to look at Charles Esdaile's 'Napoleon's Wars' (2007). It has no high opinion of Napoleon, and I'm not sure I agree with all its conclusions, but it deals with some of the more obscure campaigns - in particular the Russian-Turkish-Serbian conflicts in the years following 1807. These were substantial campaigns, the Russians were bent on conquest, but found the going slow against tough and determined resistance. <br /><br />Although I find this a fine and readable book, as i say, some of its conclusions strike me as a little odd. For example evidences are produced to demonstrate Napoleon's duplicitous treatment of his Russian ally. That Russia not only short-changed Napoleon in respect of the 1809 war with Austria, but made Austria aware of its lack of commitment to the French Emperor, evokes no similar censure.Archduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4809892888059311958.post-17741323202916891492013-12-22T22:55:46.582+13:002013-12-22T22:55:46.582+13:00We had a great time re-fighting part of the Battle...We had a great time re-fighting part of the Battle Leipzig last summer, it is one of those battles where you get to use a lot of interesting units.
