Wayne SwensonThe 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!!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

Nafziger-the 1st class Napoleonic writerBy A CustomerLeipzig is the greatest and biggest battle of all Napoelonic battles ever fought. This is a shame that only G. Nafziger wrote book about this epic battle. I like this book. The maps are fine; and the descriptions of the battles; including the Battle of Leipzig; are interesting. But this book is rather for Americans and Europeans; not for the British. They are interested only in Waterloo; and Peter Hofschroer. This book is also a big stuff for all wargamers.
