This book examines the origins of the war between Russia and France in 1812. It centers on the figure of the "Diamond Prince," Russia's ambassador to France, A. B. Kurakin, who made heroic efforts to uncover the enemy's plans. Drawing on a vast array of documents, including A. B. Kurakin's correspondence with St. Petersburg and various materials deposited in French and Austrian archives, the author attempts to recreate the dramatic diplomatic struggle between the two empires from 1807 to 1812.
