Excellent narrative for all - research from Top to Bottom.
The read book reads well for historian or not.
There is a level of detail concerning units however not to the point to lose the story.
The information is derived from personal accounts and official.
Maps:
mentioned as a concern often in reviews. Thee are maps, the maps are useful.
The main attack on Berg oop Zoom is very exciting to read.
As well: not only as Bamford write a companion book of personal accounts this book reads very after reading:
THEY FOUGHT WITH EXTRAORDINARY BRAVERY
The III German (Saxon) Army Corps in the Southern Netherlands 1814
From Reason to Revolution 1721-1815 #47
By: Geert van Uythoven
If a reader wishes a big picture or a complete picture ( as can be ) of the Napoleonic period 1813 - 1814, these two books help fill in the picture.
I recommend:
Russia Against Napoleon by Dominic Levien. ( from 1812 - 1814 )
Napoleon and Berlin by Michael Leggiere ( Will include some of the same figures such as Bulow, Bernadotte )
Napoleon 1814 : The Defence of France by Andrew Uffindell
The Spanish Ulcer by David Gates.
I suppose some info concerning Italy.
