Book Synopsis 1812: Napoleon in Moscow by : Paul Britten Austin
Download or read book 1812: Napoleon in Moscow written by Paul Britten Austin and published by Frontline Books. This book was released on 2012-12-03 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This account of Napoleon’s disastrous invasion of Russia, in the words of those who experienced it, offers “a brilliant insight into men at war” (David G. Chandler, author of The Campaigns of Napoleon). Hundreds of thousands of men set out on that midsummer day of 1812. None could have imagined the terrors and hardships to come. They’d been lured all the way to Moscow without having achieved the decisive battle Napoleon sought—and by the time they reached the city, their numbers had already dwindled by more than a third. One of the greatest disasters in military history was in the making. The fruit of more than twenty years of research, this superbly crafted work skillfully blends the memoirs and diaries of more than a hundred eyewitnesses, all of whom took part in the Grand Army’s doomed march on Moscow, to reveal the inside story of this landmark military campaign. The result is a uniquely authentic account in which the reader sees and experiences the campaign through the eyes of participants in enthralling day-by-day, sometimes hour-by-hour detail.

Download or read book The Burning of Moscow written by Alexander Mikaberidze and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2014-02-11 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As soon as Napoleon and his Grand Army entered Moscow, on 14 September 1812, the capital erupted in flames that eventually engulfed and destroyed two thirds of the city. The fiery devastation had a profound effect on the Grand Army, but for thirty-five days Napoleon stayed, making increasingly desperate efforts to achieve peace with Russia. Then, in October, almost surrounded by the Russians and with winter fast approaching, he abandoned the capital and embarked on the long, bitter retreat that destroyed his army. The month-long stay in Moscow was a pivotal moment in the war of 1812 the moment when the initiative swung towards the Tsar's armies and spelled doom for the invading Grand Army yet it has rarely been studied in the same depth as the other key events of the campaign.Alexander Mikaberidze, in this third volume of his in-depth reassessment of the war between the French and Russian empires, emphasizes the importance of the Moscow fire and shows how Russian intransigence sealed the fate of the French army. He uses a vast array of French, German, Polish and Russian memoirs, letters and diaries as well as archival material in order to tell the dramatic story of the Moscow fire. Not only does he provide a comprehensive account of events, looking at them from both the French and Russian points of view, but he explores the Russians' motives for leaving, then burning their capital. Using extensive eyewitness accounts, he paints a vivid picture of the harsh reality of life in the remains of the occupied city and describes military operations around Moscow at this turning point in the campaign.

Book Synopsis Napoléon à Moscou by : Anka Muhlstein
Download or read book Napoléon à Moscou written by Anka Muhlstein and published by Odile Jacob. This book was released on 2007-09-06 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En 1812, Napoléon est à la tête de la plus grosse armée qu’il ait jamais rassemblée. Il ouvre les hostilités contre le tsar Alexandre Ier, avec qui il a pourtant conclu une alliance. Un de ses ministres se désespère : « L’Empereur est fou ; tout cela finira par une épouvantable catastrophe. » Pourquoi cette décision ? Il pensait l’emporter vite. Mais il lui fallut avancer, avancer encore, jusqu’à Moscou. Et c’est une ville déserte, en proie aux flammes, que découvrit la Grande Armée. Avait-il les moyens de triompher ? Qu’est-ce qui a déterminé l’enchaînement des événements : la volonté ou le hasard ? Napoléon a fasciné et ne cesse de fasciner. Même la retraite, loin de l’anéantir, a révélé son exceptionnelle aptitude à tirer parti de l’adversité. C’est sa capacité de réaction à l’épreuve, sa volonté de la surmonter et sa faculté de redémarrer que montre ici Anka Muhlstein. Anka Muhlstein est historienne, écrivain, biographe. Elle a notamment publié Elisabeth d’Angleterre et Marie Stuart ou les périls du mariage, Reines éphémères, mères éternelles et Victoria.
