A major new history of the Russian conflict immortalized by Tolstoy in War and Peace

Russia's expulsion of Napoleon's Grande Armée in 1812 is considered one of the most dramatic events in European history. However, Tolstoyan myth and an imbalance of British and French interpretations have clouded most Westerners' understanding of Russia's role in the defeat of Napoleon.

Based on a fresh examination of Russian military archives, Russia Against Napoleon provides the first-ever history of the period told from the Russian perspective. In Dominic Lieven's account, Russia's victory in 1812 was just the beginning of what would be the longest military campaign in European history, marked by Russia's epic efforts to feed and supply half a million troops as they crossed an entire continent.

Moving from the 1807 treaty signed by Napoleon and Tsar Alexander I through the Russian army's improbable entry into Paris in 1814, Lieven provides suspenseful accounts of events, such as the burning of Moscow and the great battles of Leipzig and Borodino, as well as astute analyses of the great military strategists of the time. The result is a magisterial work sure to be eagerly anticipated by military and history buffs alike.

读后感

对拿破仑的了解很有限，对于他的征伐更是知之甚少。这次完全是被书名吸引，一个是霸道法皇，一个是欧洲大国。两者在历史舞台上，曾经发生过什么样的激烈对撞呢。很期待想一睹书中展现的风采。据介绍作者学识渊博，同时又是多年研究俄国历史，这次完全以一个俄国人的角度描写拿...  

这是一本关于俄国与拿破仑的战争史话。作者因由托尔斯泰的著作《战争与和平》而对俄法两国的战争史以及俄罗斯及其对欧洲的影响产生了极大兴趣并做了深入研究。他跳出了传统的俄罗斯爱国主义精神神话，以更为理性的态度探讨俄罗斯在这一历史事件中的作用。本书以编年体叙述，力...  

本书讲述了1812年夏天，欧洲的主宰者拿破仑率领当时最为庞大的军队进军俄国，他相信会横扫面前的一切。然而，他的帝国不到两年后就失败了，俄国则赢得了胜利。这是第一本深入探究俄国在拿破仑战争中关键角色的历史著作，再现了两大帝国之间前所未有的史诗性战斗。历史既存在必...  

毫无疑问，拿破仑才是历史学家们研究19世纪初的焦点。他以自己的军事才华挽救了革命后的法兰西，后又四处征伐。他被一些人视作解放者，又被另一些人视作暴君。他在1814年遭遇失败，又在1815年上演了一场浪漫主义戏剧，并以滑铁卢的悲剧收场。于我个人而言，读拿破仑传记有如读...
