Summary: Re: Detail and Typos
Comment: I have to follow-up with the previous review. Having been given this book for my birthday by my kids, I was instantly drawn in by Bowden's immense research. However, I also was appalled by the large number of typographic errors, grammatical errors, and use of slang in referring to the sergeants and corporals as "noncomms" instead of as non-commissioned officers. I served in the U.S. Army for 20 years and always called them by either their rank or by the term non-commissioned officers (or its abbreviation - NCOs). I also wonder how much error has crept into the amazing appendices. But I guess we'll never know until someone goes and checks out the French archives originals. Otherwise a useful book on this oft neglected campaign.

Summary: Invaluable insight into Napoleon's 1813 campaign
Comment: After finishing this book, I realized that for the first time, I feel as though I understand WHY the 1813 campaign unfolded in the manner that it did...what forces were in play that affected Napoleon and his army...reasons that have never before been explained.
Everything about the French army and its unbelievable weaknesses are revealed in detail, along with Napoleon's momentous mistakes that kept feeding immature youths that were improperly officered into an already failing organizational structure because the recruits could not be properly trained OR properly fed.
If you are interested in the 1813 campaigns, don't miss this one.
Rating: 4
Summary: Good book
Comment: I recommend this book, although I am a little bit dissapointed after Bowden's master piece "Napoleon and Austerlitz"
