The great battle of the napoleonic wars, Leipzig has received scant print from scholars, professional and amateur alike. The good works of those who do cover the Leipzig Battle often show a glaring weakness: a lack of outstanding maps, a lack of organizational cohesion, or some other issue palpable to the reader. Fortunately, Nafziger, as usual, submits a remarkably solid work. Military confrontations of this size are very technical and exceeding difficult to bring to life on paper. Nafziger, however, demonstrates a profound gift for doing just that. I highly recommend this work, as well as Nafziger's companion pieces on the 1813 campaign. Much like John Gill's trilogy about the 1809 Danube campaign, the three works by Nafziger on the 1813 campaign are treasures. Regrettably, they've become rarified and, at least in hard cover, command very high prices, which make the quality of these recommendations to prospective buyers exceptionally important. In my humble opinion, a very good purchase at most prices!!
