Saxony Campaign 1813 Battle Leipzig Napoleon ODELEBEN
Baron Otto Freiherr von Odeleben’s “A Circumstantial Narrative of the Campaign in Saxony, in the Year 1813” is a
comprehensive account of the historical military campaign in 1813 Saxony during
the Napoleonic Wars. The book was initially penned in German and later
translated by Alfred John Kempe. The narrative sheds light on various events,
including the political turmoil involving Frederick Augustus (king of Saxony), invasion
of Russian territories in 1812, the Battle of Lützen, the Battle of Leipzig,
and Napoleon’s final retreat upon Erfurt. Odeleben’s account explains how despite
Napoleon’s initial power and opportunities for victory, the contingencies of
troop numbers, material resources, alliances, and strategic decisions led to
his defeat in 1813.
