The Sunday Times bestselling account of Napoleon's invasion of
Russia and eventual retreat from Moscow, events that had a profound
effect on the subsequent course of Russian and European history.
Moscow has both fascinated military historians and captured the
imagination of millions on an emotional and human level. 1812 tells
the story of how the most powerful man on earth met his doom, and
how the greatest fighting force ever assembled was wiped out. Over
400,000 French and Allied troops died on the disastrous Russian
campaign, with the vast majority of the casualties occuring during
the frigid winter retreat. Adam Zamoyski tells their story with
incredible detail and sympathy, drawing on a wealth of first-hand
accounts of the tragedy to create a vivid portrait of an
unimaginable catastrophe. power. His intention was to destroy
Britain through a total blockade, the Continental System. But Tsar
Alexander of Russia refused to apply the blockade, and Napoleon
decided to bring him to heel. ramifications on Russian, French,
German and, indeed, European history and culture cannot be
understated. Adam Zamoyski's epic, enthralling narrative is the
definitive account of the events of that dramatic year.
