""An impressive source book on the conflict, high on information and data.""-Journal of the Society for Army Historical Research
September 7, 1812, is by itself one of the most cataclysmic days in the history of war- 74,000 casualties at the Battle of Borodino. And this was well before the invention of weaspons of mass destruction like machine guns or breech-loading rifles.
In this detailed study of one of the most fascinating military campaigns in history, George Nazfiger includes a clear exposition on the power structure in Europe at the time leading up to Napoleon's fateful decision to attempt what turned out to be impossible- the conquest of Russia. Also featured are complete orders of battle and detailed descriptions of the opposing forces.
