Böcker av George Nafziger

The greatest battle of the Napoleonic Wars, and the campaign that led up to it, is thoroughly studied for the first time in English.

Containing over one hundred and sixty seven images, The Saxon Army 1699 - 1764 was created as an album in the 19th century by a German army officer depicting the units in the Saxon Army from this times period when Saxony was joined with Poland-Lithuania into one of the largest countries in Europe. Though the powers were in decline under the rule of Augustus II and III, they could still field formidable forces. This book focuses on the Saxony forces from the various guard units to Invalid regiments. Noted military publisher George Nafziger provides text to give context to the units and their organization.

Originally published in 1989 this book gives a complete picture of the armies involved in this struggle, which broke the back of Napoleon's empire and shook Europe to its very core. The battles, shifting organisation and troop strengths of Napoleon's army are covered, as are the armies of the Tsar and their defence and disciplined withdrawal.
