A colourful British general, Robert Wilson (1777 1849) was knighted
many times over by crowned heads, but never by his own monarch.
Described by Wellington as 'a very slippery fellow', he fought in
the Peninsular and Napoleonic wars, and his published account of
the Egyptian campaign resulted in Napoleon complaining to the
British government about accusations of his cruelty towards
prisoners and his own men. Following the invasion of Russia, Wilson
was seconded to Kutuzov's army, and was present at all the major
engagements. Edited by his nephew and published in 1860, this
second edition of Wilson's journal includes personal and official
correspondence from Tsar Alexander I and his generals, and gives
not only detailed accounts of troop movements and strategy, but
also vivid descriptions of the savagery meted out by both sides. It
remains an essential source of information on one of history's most
famous military retreats.
