Philippe Henri de Segur was a French officer-an aide de camp-on
Napoleon's staff-who served with the Grand Army throughout the
Russian Campaign of 1812. This made him the ideal author for its
history. He witnessed the early successes of the French and allied
armies and the pyrrhic victory of Borodino. He accompanied Napoleon
to the Kremlin and saw Moscow burning. By no means least, he was
able to report the nightmare retreat through the snows of winter
which brought about the destruction of an army and the beginning of
the end of Napoleon and the golden epoch of the First Empire. Segur
has created a memorable work-part history-part first hand
account-which takes the reader vividly to the heart of these
terrible events whilst clearly explaining their sequence.
Originally published in two substantial volumes, Segur's entire
work appears here its entirety-in a single comprehensive edition
from Leonaur.
