The Prussian Army of 1813 15 was very different not only in appearance but in spirit from that of 1806. Blucher was essentially a cavalryman and, despite his years and heavy responsibilites as Commander-in-Chief, he thought nothing of leading cavalry charges in person during the Napoleonic Wars (1799-1815). Although this was dangerous, he succeeded in driving his raw regiments to to victory. This book by a leading military historian analyzes the corps, regimental and squadron strength of the infantry, cavalry and artillery arms of Blucher s army. The text is accompanied by eight colour plates and several contemporary illustrations to depict the uniforms and experiences of the troops who participated in the final defeat of Napoleon."
