Über das eBook

Napoleon Bonaparte´s campaign in Russia in from 24 June to abt 5 December 1812 remains one of the greatest military disasters of all times.
The hot weather and the forced marches making the soldiers sick reduced Napoleon´s Grande Armée fom abt 450.000 to only 120.000 a the time he reached Moscow.
More famous is the bitter winter during the withdrawal which reduced his fighting force to an est 1.500 and only abt 100.000 made it back. Napoleon didn´t have the supplies the Russians had.
The great battles were few as the Russians avoided most of them and instead they employed scorched earth and guerilla tactics to beat Napoleon. His Russia campaign would lead to the end of his grip on Europa.
The campaign is full of great names on both sides and it is impossible to do justice to them all in a small book like this one. Many famous artists have depicted this epic war. We hope the readers will enjoy our selection of art work.
