Reseña del editor
Excerpt from The Crime of 1812 and Its Retribution: A New Rendering Into English of Labaume's "Rélation Circonstanciée De La Campagne De Russie En 1812"
The most striking chapters in the book are those which describe the ghastly catastrophe of the headlong rush of the wreck of the Grand Army across the territory which Napoleon had desolated. Like a wounded mastodon, crippled and bleeding at every pore, the once invincible army staggers blindly, madly, through the snow, intent only on escape, until at last, a mere shadow of its former self, starving, frost-bitten, despairing, it reaches safety in Prussia. More vivid word-painting may be found else where, but here are the words of a man who saw it all and who tells us what he saw.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the Napoleonic Wars, specifically focusing on the disastrous French invasion of Russia in 1812. The author, a firsthand witness and participant in the campaign, offers a gripping and unfiltered account of the events that unfolded during this pivotal moment in European history. Set against the backdrop of Napoleon's ambition for European domination and England's unwavering resistance, the narrative vividly portrays the French army's journey from the initial crossing of the Niemen River to the catastrophic retreat from Moscow. The author's meticulous descriptions of the harsh conditions, dwindling supplies, and the devastating impact of the Russian winter paint a chilling picture of the campaign's brutal realities. Beyond the military aspects, the book explores the political and social dimensions of the war, highlighting the complex interplay between nations and the devastating consequences of unchecked ambition. The author's reflections on Napoleon's character and leadership provide a thought-provoking analysis of the factors that contributed to his downfall. Ultimately, this book serves as a powerful reminder of the human cost of war and the enduring lessons to be learned from the mistakes of the past.
