Información de la editorial

In the battles of Jena and Auerstadt (1806), where the Prussians were crushed by Napoleon, the Saxons excelled beyond comparison. Amidst the defeat and confusion, they withdrew in full control, with regular pace and band playing, stopping to engage whenever the enemy grew too close. Recognizing the martial value of such troops, Napoleon swiftly took steps to assure a military alliance. In this absorbing addition to the Men-at-Arms series, Otto von Pivka explores the organization, campaign history and uniforms of Napoleon's formidable Saxon allies, with numerous illustrations and eight superb full page color plates by Richard Hook.

Primera línea

Following the abdication of the Austrian Emperor Franz II from the office of Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire of German Nations on 6 August 1806, King Friedrich Wilhelm III of Prussia sought to form a defensive coalition (the North German Alliance) with Saxony and the Electorate of Hessen-Kassel to counter Napoleon's ruthless expansionism in western Europe.
