Russia against Napoleon

A lot of new stuff for 1812 buffs. And written in a good style.

A fabulous read, tapping into the Russian viewpoint of Napoleon's catastrophic invasion of Russia in 1812, leading to his own inevitable demise as the leader of Europe.

This is the story of how Russia viewed the war against Napoleon and draws on many Russian sources. It is definitely a long book and draws mostly from Russian officer accounts of the war.
