"Like his previous books, 1812 on the Russian campaign and The Hundred Days on Waterloo, Antony Brett-James' new book sets out by means of eye-witness accounts - most of them translated into English for the first time - to show at first hand what war in the Napoleonic era was really like. Europe Against Napoleon describes the Battle of the Nations' and the whole Leipzig campaign of 1813, thus completing Mr Brett-James' trilogy of books on the three great campaigns that led to Napoleon's final defeat."--Book Jacket.
