I use to have a copy of it, I thought it was an excellent book.

Maréchal Tony R.Malone, Comte d'Auvergne et Duc de Vauchamps: Division d'Infanterie de la Moyenne Garde; "The Guard may die, But it never surrenders".

I recommend it a lot. Very detailed on the personal end of battles following some key figures, an infantry officer named Barres and a cavalry one named Marbot (I know Clifton Seeney would like that)...both famous figures. But he tells details of Napoleons Marshalls, Staff members, thoughts and feelings they had. A real vivid account of Macdonald's escape from Leipzig with others. A very easy read.
