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.
