Napoleon’s Grande Armée of 1813
By Scott Bowden
In 1813, Napoleon faced the greatest challenge of his military career. The 1812 army which invaded Russia had perished. Virtually all that remained was the prestige of a glorious name that the Emperor would use to create his new Grande Armée of 1813.
This volume represents the first ever English language study of Napoleon’s 1813 war machine. From its makeshift creation to its ad-hoc formation… from its many victories to its final cataclysmic defeat at Leipzig… here is the true, complete story of this epic army and its leaders.
Written by Scott Bowden, author of Armies at Waterloo and Armies on the Danube 1809, this book was researched almost exclusively from original source documents at the French army archives. As such, Napoleon’s Grande Armée of 1813 is brought to life by hundreds of first-hand accounts and returns by French military and civil officials. These accounts and returns, which include new battlefield insights as to troop strengths, capabilities, and combat effectiveness, are unprecedented in their detail and presentation.
In addition, Napoleon’s Grande Armée of 1813 provides exhaustively detailed orders of battle, researched from the French army archives, including information on the battles of Lutzen, Bautzen, Dresden, Katzbach, Dennewitz, Leipzig, and more. These orders of battle provide exact troop strengths, artillery material, and much, much more for all the various corps of the Grande Armée throughout the year 1813.
The 1813 campaign for Germany is difficult to fully grasp without a complete understanding of its central character, Napoleon’s Grande Armée of 1813.
This story, which tells of the painstaking reconstruction of Napoleon’s army, its composition, its strengths and weaknesses, and its fighting power, is an absolute must for any Napoleonic enthusiast, historian or wargamer. Napoleon’s Grande Armée of 1813 is a gold mine of information, insights, and the key for understanding the crucial campaign of 1813.
