Austelitz to Jena; Disageement and defeat of Prussia

This book is a useful, accurate and interesting story of parts of the Napoleonic story, not told in fiction elsewhere in any detail. It is a must read for anyone who wishes to have an on-the-ground view of the whole story of the Napoleonic Age. You can't tell the players without a scorecard, and no source but fiction can explore the era from the inside out. This book begins with the end of Austerlitz, and concludes with the clearing smoke on the field at Jena. It is a sparsely explored story of the overall tales and so it wins praise just for filling a gap in the literature. More to follow.

good for a non native reader

It is easy for a non native reader to read this book if you are familiar with Napoleonic military technical terms.
