Lot: Napoleons Grande Armée 1813/Armies of the Danube 1809/Poles+Saxons Napoleonic Wars - Napoleon's Grande Armée of 1813 “Napoleon's Grande Armée of 1813” by Scott Bowden describes how Napoleon, after the total loss of his army in Russia (1812), within a few months magically forged a new fighting force from scratch, and why this army, despite early victories, collapsed in the end. - Armies on the Danube 1809 “Armies on the Danube 1809” by Scott Bowden and Charles Tarbox describes the dramatic campaign of 1809, in which a reformed, aggressive Austria brought the French Empire to the brink of defeat, before Napoleon, at the monumental Battle of Wagram, gained the upper hand. - Poles and Saxons of the Napoleonic Wars “Poles and Saxons of the Napoleonic Wars” by George Nafziger describes the organization, combat, and fate of the two most important Germanic/East European allies of Napoleon. The book shows how both armies were modernized along the French model, yet developed their loyalty to Napoleon in completely different ways.
