Nicknamed "Marshal Forward" by his soldiers, he in fact retreated more often than he attacked. Focusing on the campaigns of 1813, 1814, and 1815, Leggiere evaluates the full effects of Blücher s operations on his archenemy. In addition to providing military analysis, Leggiere draws extensively from Blücher s own writings to reveal the man behind the legend. Though tough as nails on the outside, Blücher was a loving family man who deplored the casualties of war. This meticulously written biography, enhanced by detailed maps and other illustrations, fills a large gap in our understanding of a complex man who, for all his flaws and eccentricities, is justly credited with releasing Europe from the yoke of Napoleon s tyranny."; Campaigns and Commanders Series Series; Vol. 41; 6.5 X 1.5 X 9.5 inches; 568 pages.
