"Prussian Napoleonic Tactics: 1792-1815".

Delving into original sources, including eyewitness accounts and regimental histories known only to German scholars, this book tells the story of the soldiers on the ground: how they were organised and drilled, their previous service; their march to the battlefield; and what they did when they got there.

Histories of the Waterloo campaign and tours of the battlefield generally concentrate on the battle between the armies of Napoleon and Wellington and the role of Blucher's Prussians is left in the background. This account tells how the Prussians advanced towards the battlefield and records the decisive fight that broke out when they arrived.

This work covers the Prussian Army of the Napoleonic Wars. It describes the organization, equipment, tactics and uniforms of the Artillery, Engineer and Medical branches; the staff; and colours and standards of pre-1806, post 1806 and 1815.

Following the disastrous Russian campaign of 1812, Napoleon faced a new coalition of his old enemies. This title examines the campaign at Lutzen that led to the climactic battle of Leipzig, one of the key battles of the Napoleonic wars.
