In the spring of 1814, after twenty-two years, enemy forces once again invaded France. Following Napoleon's defeats in Russia and Germany, the victorious Allies had crossed the River with the intention of putting an end to the long-standing conflict with Imperial France.My new book is the first title to bring together dozens of letters, diaries and memoirs of Russian participants of the 1814 Campaign. Reading these documents we see what Russian officers and soldiers experienced during the final months of their three year-long campaign against Napoleon as well as their joy at winning the war over Russia's most dangerous enemy. We follow them not only through the heat of the battle but also on delightful tours of Paris, which they described as the pleasure and entertainment capital of the world.
Book can be acquired both at publisher's website and online bookstores, including the Amazon.
