Russia Against Napoleon: The Battle for Europe, 1807 - 1814

This book tells the story of one of the most astonishing dramas in Europe´s history. In the summer of 1812 after years of uneasy peace, Napoleon, the master of almost the whole continent, marched into Russia with the largest army ever assembled, confident that he would sweep everything before him. Less than two years later the Russian army was itself marching into Paris and Napoleon´s empire lay in ruins.
