The Battle of Borodino resonates with the patriotic soul of Mother
Russia. The epic confrontation in September 1812 was the single
bloodiest day of the Napoleonic Wars, leaving France's Grande Armee
limping to the gates of Moscow and on to catastrophe in snow and
ice. Generations later, in October 1941, an equally bitter battle
was fought at Borodino. This time Hitler's SS and Panzers came up
against elite Siberian troops defending Stalin's Moscow.
Remarkably, both conflicts took place in the same woods and gullies
that follow the sinuous line of the Koloch River. Borodino Field
relates the gruelling experience of the French army in Russia,
juxtaposed with the personal accounts, diaries and letters of SS
and Panzer soldiers during the Second World War. Acclaimed
historian Robert Kershaw draws on previously untapped archives to
narrate the odyssey of soldiers who marched along identical tracks
and roads on the 1,000-kilometre route to Moscow, and reveals the
astonishing parallels and contrasts between two battles fought on
Russian terrain over 100 years apart.
