Napoleon in Russia
Alan Palmer has written a dramatic and gripping narrative of the Russian campaign - Napoleon's first major mistake and the watershed of his power. He makes abundant use of many contemporary documents, diaries and letters, and succeeds in describing the war from the point of view of those who fought in it, without ever losing sight of the diplomatic and strategic maneuvers that determined the course of events.
