In many ways the key figure in I8I3 was Metternich, and his attitudes
have been exhaustively studied. Apart from the biographies already cited,
the following are useful: Henry Kissinger, A World Restored (Boston
I957); Bertier de Sauvigny, Metternich et son Temps (Paris I959) E.
Kraehe, Napoleon's German Policy (Princeton I963); C. Buckland,
Metternich and the British Government from 1809 to 1813 (I932); E.
Gillick, Europe's Classic Balance of Power; a Case History of the Theory and
Practice of One of the Great Concepts of European Statecraft (Ithaca, N.Y.
I955); M. Paleologue, Romantisme et Diplomatie (Paris I924). The fa mous
interview in Dresden has to be pieced together from a number of primary
sources, many of which contradict each other, as, e.g. A.J.F. Fain,
Manuscrit de 1813 (Paris I824); Clemens Metternich, Memoirs (I88o); J.
Grabowski, Mem oires Militaires (Paris I907).

campaign of I812 continue the story into the debacle in I8I3. Other first
