Trade paperback. A gripping account of how and why Russia defeated Napoleon, drawing in the battles, moving personal stories and the social upheaval caused by the conflict. 'A historian's version of "War & Peace"... this is military history of a high order, plunging us into a world of dashing dragoons and bristling moustaches, in which the largest army ever assembled came to grief in the snow outside Moscow' Dominic Sandbrook, "Daily Telegraph Books Of The Year"
