This volume covers Napoleon's gradual fall from power; beginning in the spring of 1813; when France prepared to face the vengeance of Russia and Prussia. quickly raising new armies composed of inexperienced conscripts and invalided veterans; and with a critical shortage of cavalry; Napoleon resolved to preserve his empire in Germany; where he initially managed to achieve some hard-fought victories. When at last Austria threw in her lot with the Allies and the epic Battle of Leipzig followed; Napoleon was forced to retreat across the Rhine; there to resist the onslaught on home soil. The pressure against him proved too great; and with Paris lost and his marshals refusing to fight on; no option remained but abdication. Yet his last battle; and one of the most decisive in military history; was still to come: Waterloo.
