Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. The second of three volumes, this book represents the first English translation of the memoirs that rank among the best in the vast Napoleonic memoir literature. The author, Ilya Timofeyevich Radozhitskii, served with distinction during the wars against Napoleon and wrote down his reminisces s…hortly after the war based on the notes that he kept while campaigning. Born in 1788, Radozhitskii studied at the Imperial Orphanage, enlisted in the artillery unit in 1806, and steadily rose through the ranks, earning a reputation of a capable officer. Napoleon's invasion of Russia in 1812 changed his life. Serving as an artillery lieutenant, he saw action in virtually every major battle of that historic campaign. In 1813-1814, Radozhitskii took part in the War of the German Liberation and the invasion of France, serving with distinction at Bischofswerde, Bautzen, Katzbach, and Leipzig before finishing the war as a staff captain in Paris in 1814. Upon Napoleon's return in 1815, Radozhitskii was assigned to the Russian Expeditionary Corps that was dispatched to France but arrived too late to confront Napoleon. Radozhitskii offers fresh insight into the life and daily experiences of Russian officers during the Napoleonic Wars. This volume follows Radozhitskii across Germany as the Russian army, buoyed by the victory over Napoleon in 1812, marched on to liberate German states. Radozhitskii's narrative contains striking descriptions of the wartime experiences of soldiers and officers, vivid accounts of the battles, and heartrending stories from the French retreat. When published in Russia, these memoirs garnered considerable public attention and Leo Tolstoy consulted them extensively while writing his famous War and Peace. The first volume, entitled The Russian Campaign of 1812, was published by Pen & Sword in 2023. Volume 3, The Invasion of France 1814, will follow in 2024. AUTHORS: Alexander Mikaberidze is Professor of History and the Ruth Herring Noel Endowed Chair at Louisiana State University-Shreveport. He is an internationally acclaimed historian of the Napoleonic Wars, and the author and editor of two dozen books, including The Napoleonic Wars: A Global History (Oxford, 2020) and Kutuzov: A Life in War and Peace (Oxford, 2022). Peter G.A. Phillips is a retired soldier and civil servant who worked for 27 years in the British Army Intelligence Corps (in Germany, the Falkland Islands, Northern Ireland, Hong Kong, Bosnia, Iraq and Afghanistan), including working as a Russian, German, and Serbo-Croat linguist, before working for five years as part of a Civil Service team training UK military personnel to serve in diplomatic missions world-wide. He has been translating Russian military histories of the Coalition Wars since December 2019, initially as a hobby, having been encouraged by renowned Napoleonic historian Dr Alexander Mikaberidze following a chance encounter on social media. He now lives in the Philippines with his Filipina wife of 33 years. They have two adult daughters. 25 b/w illustrations First English translation of Ilya Timofeyevich Radozhitskii's memoirs, a Russian artillery officer who served with distinction during the wars against Napoleon. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Zustand: New. Hardback 214 pages + platesPublished Price £22 This second volume presents the first English translation of memoirs widely regarded as among the finest in the extensive Napoleonic literature. Ilya Timofeyevich Radozhitskii, who served with distinction throughout the wars against Napoleon, composed these recollecti…ons shortly after the conflict, drawing on notes kept during his campaigns. Born in 1788 and educated at the Imperial Orphanage, he entered an artillery unit in 1806 and rose steadily through the ranks. The 1812 invasion of Russia proved decisive for his career: as an artillery lieutenant he participated in nearly every major engagement of that campaign. In 1813â"1814 he fought in the War of German Liberation and the invasion of France, serving with distinction at Bischofswerde, Bautzen, Katzbach, and Leipzig, and ending the war in Paris as a staff captain. Although assigned to the Russian Expeditionary Corps in 1815, he reached France too late to confront Napoleon after his return. Radozhitskiiâs memoirs offer valuable insight into the daily life and experiences of Russian officers during the Napoleonic Wars. This volume follows his advance across Germany as the Russian army, buoyed by its 1812 victory, moved to liberate the German states. His narrative provides vivid descriptions of battle, compelling accounts of soldiersâ and officersâ wartime experiences, and poignant depictions of the French retreat.
