Der Feldzug der K. Preußischen Armee am Rhein im Jahre 1793 offers a detailed contemporary account of the Prussian campaign along the Rhine during one of the most pivotal years of the War of the First Coalition. Compiled by military historian and Prussian General Major August Wagner from the papers of Charles William Ferdinand, Duke of Brunswick, this classic 1831 work chronicles the strategic planning, troop movements, and major engagements of the 1793 campaign against Revolutionary France.
Drawing upon official documents and firsthand military records, Wagner reconstructs the Prussian army's operations from the siege of Mainz through the coalition's advance into the Rhineland. The narrative examines the challenges of coalition warfare, the coordination of Prussian, Austrian, and German allied contingents, and the logistical and tactical realities of campaigning along one of Europe's most contested frontiers. Detailed analyses of command decisions, battlefield dispositions, and operational objectives provide readers with valuable insight into eighteenth-century military practice.
An indispensable resource for historians, military enthusiasts, genealogists, and reenactors, this volume preserves one of the most authoritative contemporary studies of the 1793 Rhine campaign. Rich in operational detail and grounded in official archival sources, it remains an essential reference for understanding the early Revolutionary Wars and the final campaigns of the old Prussian army before the Napoleonic era.
