Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Napoleon's Russian Campaign of 1812 During recent years the history of most of Napoleon's great campaigns has been given to the world, with the notable exception of that of the catastrophic Russian expedition of 1812. Apart from compilations, I have met only one original work on the subject, in the English language, during the ten years the present work has been in preparation. The publication of thousands of documents dealing with the struggle from the French side by the Historical Section of the French War Office, has rendered easily accessible an immense mass of material for the earlier period of the campaign. A beginning in this respect has also been made by the War Office at St. Petersburg, and some interesting light is thereby thrown upon the preparations on the Russian side, as well as upon the personalities of the Russian leaders. There are also many documents from private sources which have been collected and published. My aim has been simply to relate the history of the terrible campaign in straightforward fashion, without obscuring the narrative by too much digression. I believe that, as matters stand, a better service will thus have been rendered to the cause of history than by the composition of a huge essentially technical work - for which, indeed, there is no place in this country.

The disclosure of facts and Opinions to which he could only have access through this confidence of a generous friendship would have prejudicially affected the relations of the Emperor with his great nobility and, moreover, it would have given pain to some with whom he had himself relations of attachment and esteem formed by the fellowship of danger among the moving scenes of military service.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Napoleon's Invasion of Russia The military lessons of the Russian campaign are numerous. In its general features, In the grandeur of its conception, and in some respects in its execution, as well as in its abysmal end, this gigantic invasion was splendid and awe-inspiring. Who can contemplate un moved the sublime spectacle of that mighty human stream pouring across Europe into Russia, fighting its way to Moscow, and its shattered remnants struggling back across the Berezina, in whose icy flood so many thousand lives were quenched in circumstances Of tragic horror. The dramatic figure of the Great Emperor, standing in the snow during the retreat, dominating the situation by the mere terror of his personality, will stand out for ever on the page of history. The fortitude in the retreat of Ney, that warrior of transcendent courage, who, asked where was the rearguard, replied in all truth, I am the rearguard and in response to a summons to surrender, A Marshal of France never surrenders furnishes one of the finest episodes of this dramatic epoch.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Narrative of the Campaign in Russia, During the Year 1812 And during the whole period the face of Europe never ceased being deluged with blood. Austria, 'who had neglected the past favourable moment to defend herb rights, was at last aroused; and be came involved, and alone too, in a desperate and unsuccessful contest with Napoleon. Spain burst forth against the tyrant, with the spirit of her an cestors. And England (however those at times in power may have committed political err01s) con tinued, in principle, true to the grand cause by feeding the flame in the peninsula; and thus kept tip that fire with which the far-spreading torch of the North now lights the rest of Europe to Eman cipation and Peace. The negative kind of amity, a body without a soul, which the Treaty of Tilsit established be tween the Empires of Russia and France, (and which endured little more than four years) gave time and occasion to Alexander to be fully aware of the ultimate views of his Gallic friend who lost not an opportunity of endeavouring by every species of intrigue to pave the'way for an easy conquest over the arms and allegiance of the sub jects'ot' his august and honourable ally.
