Napoleon's Russian Campaign: the Invasion, Battles and Retreat by an Aide-de-Camp on the Emperor's Staff - Hardcover
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.

Review:
?The influence of [this] work, now made available in a new translation, was felt for many years. The giants of literature used it as a source book and as an inspiration.... It is still the most vivid account of that apocalyptic disaster.?-New York Times
