This account of what passed under my own observation at the Battle of Austerlitz, and of the result of my researches on that memorable event, I here dedicate to my brethren in arms.
The Battle of Austerlitz was one of the most important battles in the Napoleonic Wars and is often considered to be a tactical masterpiece in the same league as famous historical battles such as the Battle of Cannae and the Battle of Gaugamela. The battle quickly put an end to the War of the Third Coalition and drastically altered the formerly rigid power structure of Europe while setting the stage for the ensuing French domination of the continent. Karl von Stutterheim was a general that led troops during the Battle of Austerlitz and was directly involved in the fighting. This book was written by a him a mere seven months after the battle took place and serves as a valuable primary account of the famous battle.
