Overview-
One army lost in the Russian winter, Napoleon raised another to keep his grip on Europe. A tired Russian Army and a raw Prussian force marched to meet him. ‘Lutzen and Bautzen’ is a detailed and masterful study of a misunderstood and little covered campaign. Yet it was a war between titans as Napoleon led his conscripts to crush a foe worthy to face him. From the great battles of Lutzen and Bautzen to the skirmishes with marauding Cossacks, George Nafziger follows the complete campaign in Germany from top to bottom, with a wealth of detail. A great researcher, George Nafziger uncovers the secrets of one of the greatest of Napoleonic campaigns. This new edition incorporates a new set of images, and newly commissioned maps.

“ … [Wargamers] will definitely want to purchase this book - if they do not already possess the original edition.”
"This is a useful book for enthusiasts for the Napoloenic period." - *Listed in Military History Monthly's round up of the best military history titles for January 2018*”
“Dr. Nafziger has put another feather in his cap with this book. He is able to move seamlessly from the political to the military sphere. He also effortlessly goes from the strategic to the tactical without missing a beat or losing the reader… The book goes from the back drop of the 1812 Campaign to the armistice in early June 1813. The author is able to take the reader to the battles and councils of both sides of the conflict and bring them both to life for the reader.”
"...this is a very valuable account of this campaign, well researched and including all of the details I wished I’d had access to when I was writing my own articles on this topic, and it will allow me to go back and fill in many gaps."
