History of the German Struggle for Liberty, by Poultney Bigelow published in 1896 in 2 Volumes
Although hard to find, an excellent read! Gives much information on the internal workings of Prussia, the characters involved, and the spirit of nationalism in Germany during the period. Weak on Battlefield data. All drawings made by R. Caton Woodville
Napoleon as a General, by Count Yorck von Wartenburg unsure of date of original edition. Accompanying Atlas published at West Point in 1942.
Very informative but rather dry. Still, a "must-have". Atlas has excellent maps regarding all of Napoleon's campaigns.
Napoleon's Conquest of Prussia, by F. Loraine Petre published in 1907
An excellent study of the of the 1806 Campaign
Napoleon's Last Campaign in Germany, by F. Loraine Petre
An excellent study of the entire 1813 Campaign

Another "must have"! Informative without being dry, containing many black and white renditions of Knotel works.

Informative reading on the early years of Scharnhorst and his struggle to effect change within the Prussian military hierarchy before Jena-Auerstadt.
The Fall of Napoleon, by David Hamilton-Williams published in 1996
Another excellant read! Not very extensive in military data, but full of political intrigue. You'll see that betrayal from his own government and Marshalls would bring him down as much as military action from the other powers of Europe.
The Greenhill Napoleonic Wars Data Book, by Digby Smith, published in 1998
