Hi Could anyone point me in the right direction. Especially looking for something that covers the 1809 campaign. The more detail the better. Unfortunately my German is not yet upto reading an entire volume so any books would need to be in English. Regards

There are not too many published in German and I don't know about ones in English.
You might want to get the various "Ospreys" on the Austrian army by Dave Hollins – he mentions some of the memoirs. |

I have just finished David Hollins's Austrian Commanders of the Napoleonic Wars ,a nice introduction at its length , but I think he is too pro-Austrian to tell the truth . |

There again, so is Digby "Otto von Pivka" Smith anti-french, Peter Hofschroer pro-Prussian, etc I do think nowadays we should be expecting less bias and more neutral analysis….still it's good sometimes to read the odd biased account, as the author will know his / her stuff and will be able to better articulate the detail of their subject., say compared to a neutral author (but not always I have found…). |
