In 1813, Leipzig was the scene of the largest battle ever fought to date, and 100 years later, a great monument was erected to mark its centennial. Over time, the trans-European and global implications of the battle generated vastly different perspectives and assessments. In this volume, renowned historians examine the course, consequences, and significance of the Battle of Leipzig and its reverberations across 200 years.
