A monumental work that is one of the most important sources of knowledge about the events related to Napoleon Bonaparte's expedition to Russia in 1812 and the defeat of this military campaign. The publication, published in 1937, is the fruit of many years of research and analysis by the military historian and General of the Polish Army, who analyzed and described every aspect of this key campaign in the history of the Napoleonic wars. Marian Kukiel describes not only the course of battles and the strategic and tactical operations of the warring sides, but also delves into the political, social and economic conditions of the period.
