In the 1960s, the historian M. G. Bragin wrote a book called In the Stormy Age, and Soviet boys became sick of 1812. How many armies were created from the most unexpected materials, how many battles were fought! Almost half a century later, this book returns to the reader, and again on its pages you can hear the rumble of cannons, shining cuirasses and gunpowder smoke. The Patriotic War comes alive here in the smallest details: you can read the correspondence of the generals, understand the schemes of battles, see what was carried in the satchel of a Russian soldier, look into the statute of 1811, consider the uniform and weapons, learn to build fortifications, learn how the cannon shoots, why the sapper apron, whether it was possible to cure Bagration, what is okochurnik, what a statue of Napoleon could stand in the Kremlin and what ruined the Great Army. Additional materials: original volume designs, panoramic pages, flaps, booklets, maps, battle diagrams, a guide to the Borodino field, cards with portraits and biographies of great commanders, historical documents.
