bookbestseller Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 Fighting the Russiansby Bernard WilkinEnglish | December 31, 2024 | ISBN: 1399059645 | 216 Pages | epub | 12,02 MBBefore the French Revolution, the Russian Empire played a minor role in the history of Western Europe, yet its involvement in the wars of the Republic and against Napoleon would change its influence on the fate of the continent forever.Fighting the Russians examines the crucial role played by the men of the Czar's Empire through hundreds of original letters, notebooks and accounts written by French soldiers at the time of the events or shortly after the fall of Napoleon. These rare unpublished sources, or those never before translated into English, recount key moments such as the battles of Zurich, Austerlitz, Eylau, Borodino and Leipzig, the burning of Moscow, the passage of the Berezina and the capture of Paris by the Cossacks. The terrible retreat from Russia and the torture inflicted on French soldiers by irregulars are also examined, as well as the times Napoleon was almost captured by Russian horsemen.Together, these writings plunge the reader into a world of unprecedented violence, but they also reveal the French fascination with the Russians, who were perceived as strange individuals from faraway lands whose courage bordered on madness.eBook Details:Bernard Wilkin216 Pages7 - 8 Hours to read94k Total wordsRelease Date: December 31, 2024ISBN-13: 9781399059640ISBN-10: 1399059645Language: EnglishFormat: epubFile Size: 12,02 MBDownload Links RapidGatorhttps://rg.to/file/3dbeccc4f006728522e786edaefbdb83/k1b7t.7z.htmlTakeFilehttps://takefile.link/lg97ncd6v30g/k1b7t.7z.htmlFileaxahttps://fileaxa.com/unk2finem7p4/k1b7t.7zFikperhttps://fikper.com/YpVx4DSYx4/k1b7t.7z.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
