Among the enormous oeuvre of Clausewitz the best-known work, by
far, is the unfinished magnum opus On War. His works include many
excellent writings on military history, of which The Campaign of
1812 in Russia is, assuredly, the masterpiece. This book is a
superb first-hand account and analysis of the military disaster of
1812 and the characters who played a significant role in it. An
eyewitness and participant in the war, Clausewitz' writing remains
the most serious source on that campaign. Napoleon's campaign of
1812 against Russia was a crucial event in the Napoleonic history.
At the beginning of 1812, Napoleon was at the peak of his glory. On
the eve of the Russian campaign the majority of European diplomats
thought that Napoleon would emerge victorious. The campaign,
however, proved to be disastrous for the French Grand Arme. The
Battle of Borodino, with heavy causalities on both sides, was
probably the hardest fought battle of the Napoleonic era. Victory
at Borodino gained Napoleon entry to Moscow only to end in
catastrophe and the retreat of the French army in fall of the same
year. The campaign of 1812 against Russia marked the beginning of
the end of Napoleon's rule in Europe.Clausewitz is more than a
military historian in the traditional sense. His concrete and
objective analysis enables him to appreciate the situation in all
its political, diplomatic and military ramifications. The Russian
Campaign of 1812 will be of interest to historians, political
scientists, and students of military history and strategy.
