Napoleon and the
World War of 1813

by Kevin Zucker

A London publisher, Frank Cass - http://www.frankcass.com published a book in 2000 called "Napoleon and the World War of 1813: Lessons in Coalition Warfighting" by J.P. Riley. A scholarly approach with lots of sub-par sketch maps. When did publishers forget the true value of proper maps for books about military history? Valuable nonetheless. An attempt to find modern day significance for diplomatic and military history of the Napoleonic era.

Uniquely, it covers the conflict not just in Germany, but in four separate theaters including Spain and the Mediterranean. If you have any interest in the 1813 campaign, definitely look for it in your nearest research library.

ALSO: Professor Stuart Piggott, "Wagon, Chariot, and Carriage" Symbol and Status in the History of Transport. 1992, Thames and Hudson
