The Napoleonic era has been analyzed in numerous studies, but many fail to portray the Russian side of the events due to the scarcity of Russian sources in English. Only a handful of Russian memoirs have been translated in English while dozens remain unknown. This book seeks to fill this gap by providing previously unavailable memoirs of Russian participants using documents show the other side, providing insight on the Russian leadership and what a soldier experienced as he progressed towards victory.
