Europe Against Napoleon (1970) By Antony Brett-James
 
The book details the so-called 'battle of the nations' otherwise known as the battle of Leipzig that took place (mostly) over the 13th and 14th October 1813. This was the decisive period in the war against Napoleon. Russia and Prussia had managed to convince Austria to join them and had diplomatically ceded control over allied forces (which included a contingent from Sweden under the control of the Crown Prince and former Marshal of France Bernadotte, as well as battery of Rockets representing the British army) to them.

Napoleon had scratched together an army, calling up recruits and mobilising mounted police units to serve as cavalry, and confronted the allied forces at the city of Leipzig, a major commercial centre in the kingdom of Saxony - a key ally of Napoleon's.
