It is very enjoyable, which is a strange thing to say about a catalogue of horrors. Whilst not as good as Adam Zamoyski's book with a similar title, it is nevertheless a riveting account of one of history's military disasters. It also makes one wonder how the man responsible for this fiasco is still being described as one of Earth's greatest military leaders, ( ) no reviews | add a review
This unique paperback brings together in one volume Paul Britten Austin's acclaimed and atmospheric trilogy on Napoleon's Russian campaign, allowing the reader to trace the course of Napoleon's doomed soldiers from the crossing of the Niemen in June 1812 to the catastrophic finale in the depths of a Russian winter. Drawing on hundreds of eyewitness accounts by French and allied soldiers of Napoleon's army, this brilliant study recreates a landmark military campaign in all its death and glory.
