Written with a sharp narrative style, the book intertwines rigorous military analysis with vivid personal reflections, creating a compelling chronicle that transcends mere historical record. De Segur captures the psychological complexities of war, the unforgiving Russian landscape, and the fate of a colossal army caught in the turmoil of an ill-fated campaign, all while articulating broader themes of ambition, hubris, and the unpredictable nature of fate in military endeavors. As a French diplomat and officer who witnessed the events firsthand, de Segurs insights stem from a deeply personal and professional engagement with the Napoleonic Wars. His aristocratic background and extensive military experience afford him a nuanced understanding of both the high commands decisions and the soldiers plight. De Segurs reflections often reveal a poignant awareness of the human cost of war, underscoring the authors belief in the moral consequences of conflict and ambition. This book is recommended for anyone interested in military history, Napoleonic studies, or the broader implications of war on society. De Segurs eloquent prose and astute observations not only enrich our understanding of the Russian campaign but also invite readers to reflect on the enduring lessons of history.</p>...4541281The History of the Russian Campaign1919https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-history-of-the-russian-campaign-8596547785521/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/4102922/image.jpg?v=638887755723830000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20238596547785521_W3siaWQiOiJjYWQ4ZmFjNS0yZjMyLTQ0MjYtOGU2Ny1iMGZjMGU3MDgxYzAiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjE5LCJkaXNjb3VudCI6MCwic2VsbGluZ1ByaWNlIjoxOSwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDctMjJUMDg6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d8596547785521_<p>History of the Russian Cmpaign, Undertaken by the Emperor Napoleon in the Year 1812 is a historical account of the French invasion of Russia, written by French general and a historian Count Philip de Segur. The French invasion of Russia of 1812 was begun by Napoleon to force Russia back into the Continental blockade of the United Kingdom. On 24 June 1812 and the following days, the first wave of the multinational Grande Armée crossed the border into Russia with somewhere around 600,000 soldiers, the opposing Russian field forces amounted to around 180,000200,000 at this time. Through a series of long forced marches, Napoleon pushed his army rapidly through Western Russia in a futile attempt to destroy the retreating Russian Army of Michael Andreas Barclay de Tolly, winning just the Battle of Smolensk in August. Under its new Commander in Chief Mikhail Kutuzov, the Russian Army continued to retreat employing attrition warfare against Napoleon forcing the invaders to rely on a supply system that was incapable of feeding their large army in the field. The fierce Battle of Borodino, seventy miles west of Moscow, was a narrow French victory that resulted in a Russian general withdrawal to the south of Moscow near Kaluga. On 14 September, Napoleon and his army of about 100,000 men occupied Moscow, only to find it abandoned, and the city was soon ablaze. Napoleon stayed in Moscow for 5 weeks, waiting for a peace offer that never came. Lack of food for the men and fodder for the horses, hypothermia from the bitter cold and guerilla warfare from Russian peasants and Cossacks led to great losses. Three days after the Battle of Berezina, only around 10,000 soldiers of the main army remained. On 5 December, Napoleon left the army and returned to Paris.</p>...(*_*)8596547785521_<p>In "The History of the Russian Campaign," Count Philip de Segur delivers a meticulous account of the catastrophic 1812 invasion of Russia by Napoleons Grande Armve.
