Description
A vivid depiction of the battles at Aspern/Essling and Wagram, fought against Austria in late spring and summer of 1809 by Napoleon I and Archduke Charles of Austria. At Aspern/Essling, the myth of Napoleon's invincibility fell, and Wagram did not end with a convincing French victory. The somewhat forgotten events of the war on the Danube then represented the last victorious campaign of the Emperor of the French. In the form of non-fiction literature and with a style that has gained popularity among readers, aided by a number of maps, period illustrations, and ordre de bataille, the battle arrangements of both armies, the book primarily lets the voices of eyewitnesses, marshals, generals, officers, and soldiers from both the Austrian and French sides speak, who experienced that bloody struggle on the battlefields along the left bank of the Danube.
