Before you - a unique book: the true history of the War of 1812! The largest in Russia
Evgeny Ponasenkov, Russia's largest expert on the Napoleonic era and a renowned scholar-historian, has studied tens of thousands of documents stored in Russian and European archives, as well as diaries and memoirs of the participants in the events, and has managed to create a fundamentally new description of that grandiose campaign. The impeccable accuracy of the scientific presentation is combined with a vivid and elegant manner of presenting the material. For the first time, a detailed description of the life of all strata of Russian society is given, and the economic, diplomatic and cultural aspects of what happened are explored. You will learn about the true plans and deeds of Napoleon and Alexander I, about the Russian civil war that occurred in parallel with the invasion, about the behind-the-scenes "battles" and intrigues of the world of professional scientists and state propaganda. Yevgeny Ponasenkov, a graduate of the Faculty of History at Moscow State University and author of many scientific works, is today rightfully considered an intellectual guru of the new generation. He is also credited with creating the largest personal collection of books and art objects from the Napoleonic era in Russia. The third edition has a new chapter and additional illustrations.
