A major new history of the Russian conflict immortalized by Tolstoy in War and Peace
Russia's expulsion of Napoleon's Grande Armée in 1812 is considered one of the most dramatic events in European history. However, Tolstoyan myth and an imbalance of British and French interpretations have clouded most Westerners' understanding of Russia's role in the defeat of Napoleon.
Based on a fresh examination of Russian military archives, Russia Against Napoleon provides the first-ever history of the period told from the Russian perspective. In Dominic Lieven's account, Russia's victory in 1812 was just the beginning of what would be the longest military campaign in European history, marked by Russia's epic efforts to feed and supply half a million troops as they crossed an entire continent.
Moving from the 1807 treaty signed by Napoleon and Tsar Alexander I through the Russian army's improbable entry into Paris in 1814, Lieven provides suspenseful accounts of events, such as the burning of Moscow and the great battles of Leipzig and Borodino, as well as astute analyses of the great military strategists of the time. The result is a magisterial work sure to be eagerly anticipated by military and history buffs alike.
Dominic Lieven is a senior research fellow at Trinity College, Cambridge, and a fellow of the British Academy. He previously taught Russian Studies at the London School of Economics for thirty-three years. His last book, Russia Against Napoleon, won the 2009 Wolfson Prize for History and the Prix Napoleon.
这是一本关于俄国与拿破仑的战争史话。作者因由托尔斯泰的著作《战争与和平》而对俄法两国的战争史以及俄罗斯及其对欧洲的影响产生了极大兴趣并做了深入研究。他跳出了传统的俄罗斯爱国主义精神神话,以更为理性的态度探讨俄罗斯在这一历史事件中的作用。本书以编年体叙述,力...
評分本书最大的弱点在于对战前欧洲格局论述不到位,对于战争爆发的原因也阐述得不够。在对俄罗斯人获胜的分析上,本身倒是提供了独到的见解,而且把俄皇亚历山大置于聚光灯下,肯定了他超过拿破仑的恢宏格局,高超的政治和外交才能,出众的识才用才的气度。过去五百年里,欧洲第一...
評分对拿破仑的了解很有限,对于他的征伐更是知之甚少。这次完全是被书名吸引,一个是霸道法皇,一个是欧洲大国。两者在历史舞台上,曾经发生过什么样的激烈对撞呢。很期待想一睹书中展现的风采。据介绍作者学识渊博,同时又是多年研究俄国历史,这次完全以一个俄国人的角度描写拿...
