This book tells the story of the invasion of France at the twilight of Napoleon's empire. With over a million men under arms throughout central Europe; Coalition forces poured over the Rhine River to invade France between late November 1813 and early January 1814. Three principle army groups drove across the great German landmark; smashing the exhausted French forces that attempted to defend the eastern frontier. In less than a month; French forces ingloriously retreated from the Rhine to the Marne; Allied forces were within one week of reaching Paris. This book provides the first complete; English-language study of the invasion of France along a front that extended from Holland to Switzerland.

ZanderThis was a great read; but my Kindle version was flawed by a random appearance of fat parentheses in many of the words; which created a stumbling block in reading this dense work. I still have no idea what some of the words are supposed to be; since they are both Arabic and parenthetical!
