"Napoleon and Russia" tells, for the first time, the full story of
Napoleon and his crucial relationship with Russia, from the 1790s
and Bonaparte's rise to power, through the period of Austerlitz,
Tilsit and the Russian invasion, to the Emperor's fall and its
aftermath. In doing so, it not only puts the critical events of
1812 in their proper context as part of an even greater tale - of
peace as well as war, friendship as well as enmity - but also
provides fresh insight into the Napoleonic period as a whole,
questioning many of the assumptions about the era prevalent in the
English-speaking world. The tale boasts a cast of fascinating
characters to rival any novel: the rulers, Napoleon himself,
Catherine the Great, 'Mad' Tsar Paul and the enigmatic Alexander I;
generals such as Ney, Murat, Davout, Suvorov, Kutuzov and Barclay
de Tolly; statesmen like Talleyrand, Caulaincourt, Czartoryski and
Rumiantsev; and, of course, the ordinary soldiers who fought some
of the most intriguing, bloody and important campaigns in history.
This is an enthralling story of fundamental importance in the
history of Europe and, indeed, the world.
