The French general and historian Philippe-Paul, Comte de S gur
(1780 1873) served as a member of Napoleon's personal staff during
the Russian campaign. He had joined the cavalry in 1800 and had
distinguished himself during earlier episodes of the European war;
this led to him being chosen for several diplomatic missions. His
two-volume account of the invasion of Russia, first published in
French in 1824, has been through many editions and has been
translated into many languages. It is both a military history and
an eyewitness account. This English translation was first published
in 1825 and remains immensely valuable to historians' understanding
of Napoleon's ultimately disastrous Russian strategy. Volume 2
begins with Napoleon's arrival in Moscow on 14 September 1812. The
remainder of the book charts the events of the army's retreat,
details the conditions endured and the lives lost in the course of
it.
