This edition, Campaign Journal of a Prussian Officer (1813–1814), is an account from Captain von Colomb, a Prussian officer involved in partisan warfare during the Napoleonic Wars, specifically during the 1813–1814 campaigns, translated into French. These were the years of the War of the Sixth Coalition, when various European powers (including Prussia) joined forces to push Napoleon out of Central Europe.
