HANAU 1813: NAPOLEON'S RETREAT FROM LEIPZIG

Attraverso illustrazioni, mappe, ritratti, e tabelle prese dagli spendidi taccuini dello storico Archibald Becke, gli eventi della battaglia di Hanau vengono descritti sotto una nuova luce, abbandonando le informazioni imprecise degli eserciti avversari, e analizzando a fondo le motivazioni e la responsabilità del conflitto.

140pp., 4to, illustrated throughout in colour with 9 maps, 72 paintings, 5 orders of battle, 13 portraits, 75 uniforms, 7 artillery plans  & 49 tables. 2021. Continuing our series of reviving the exquisite notebooks of the historian Major Archibald Becke, his account of the Battle of Hanau has led to a completely new understanding of the battle which challenges the usual accounts. Gone are the wildly inaccurate strengths of the opposing armies, allowing a much better understanding of why the battle played out the way it did. The responsibility for the Allied defeat is thoroughly examined and concluded.
