From the publishers:
In 1814, after two successive years of defeat in Russia and central Europe, Napoleon was faced with the ultimate disaster – an Allied invasion of France itself. The conduct of the intense, fast-moving campaign that followed has been widely hailed as one of his greatest feats as a commander, yet it has rarely been described fully and objectively. Andrew Uffindell, in this study, reconstructs the campaign, reassesses Napoleon's military leadership and provides an account of a campaign that helped shape modern Europe.

Napoleon.org also has a review of the book written by independent scholar Thomas Zacharis.
