Manufacturer

After the terrible defeat in Russia and the drama of the 1813 campaign in Germany, Napoleon was forced to continue the war on French soil. The Allies were determined to crush Napoleon's empire and 'liberate' Europe from Napoleonic rule. From the invasion of France in January to the Emperor's abdication in April 1814, through the victories and final defeats of Napoleon I, this book presents in text and pictures a French army that united young conscripts, veterans of dozens of campaigns and battles, and peasants and workers of the National Guards.

An epic that is still too often forgotten. The composition of the French army during the fighting in France in 1814 is described in detail, point by point, and the strength of each army corps in this decisive campaign is documented. The reader learns a great deal about the famous battles of Champaubert, Montmirail, Craon, Reims and Paris, and gets to know the sometimes unknown heroes of these encounters.
