Russia Against Napoleon The Battle For Europe, 1807 To 1814 by D. C. B. Lieven and Dominic Lieven

This book tells the story of one of the most astonishing dramas in Europes history. In the summer of 1812 after years of uneasy peace, Napoleon, the master of almost the whole continent, marched into Russia with the largest army ever assembled, confident that he would sweep everything before him. Less than two years later the Russian army was itself marching into Paris and Napoleons empire lay in ruins. Using an array of new, rare and surprising sources, Dominic Lieven writes with great panache and insight to describe from the Russians viewpoint how they went from retreat, defeat and the burning of Moscow to becoming the new liberators of Europe.
