Napoleon's Russian Campaign of 1812

Napoleon Bonaparte was one of the greatest military minds of the 19th century, yet, even the greatest minds can be defeated.

Napoleon's Russian Campaign of 1812 saw 600 000 soldiers follow Bonaparte into Russia, but less than 100 000 returned home. Napoleon's army was decimated by an opponent who out-foxed the fox. This great tragedy marked the end of Napoleon's reign in France and created the circumstances for the other European countries to collude and defeat Napoleon. The destiny of Europe was changed forever.

This manuscript explores the Russian Campaign of 1812 and the causes of Napoleon's downfall. Included are 32 unique portraits, many historical paintings, and several maps and plans.
