RUSIA CONTRA NAPOLEON
LIEVEN, DOMINIC
In the summer of 1812, Napoleon, at the height of his European dominance, marched into Russia with the largest army in history and the conviction that his empire's expansion was unstoppable. However, just two years later, his armies were defeated and Russia emerged victorious. Thanks to a deep understanding of the unique social, political, and economic reality during the time of Tsar Alexander I, this essay shows for the first time the crucial role Russia played in the Napoleonic Wars. Dominic Lieven unfolds before the reader's eyes a true fresco in which both the Emperor and his staff officers, as well as the soldiers, come to life.
