Commemorating Napoleon's 200-day campaign in Poland and eastern Prussia from 1806-1807, this book brings together photographs of the surrounding area, contemporary eye-witness accounts as well as commentaries, tables, maps, battle-plans and napoleonic postcards and illustrations, all detailing the various stages and battles of the campaign.
 
Depicting the decisive phase, the album begins with Napoleon's operations at the Vistula river, covers the battles of Pultusk, Eylau and Friedland and finishes with the signing of the treaty of Tilsit (now Sovetsk). The album also provides an account of Napoleon's stay at Finckenstein and the siege of Gdansk.
 
Of particular interest is the extraordinary series of aerial photographs of the progress of the campaign through Poland.
