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.
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.

評分毫无疑问,拿破仑才是历史学家们研究19世纪初的焦点。他以自己的军事才华挽救了革命后的法兰西,后又四处征伐。他被一些人视作解放者,又被另一些人视作暴君。他在1814年遭遇失败,又在1815年上演了一场浪漫主义戏剧,并以滑铁卢的悲剧收场。于我个人而言,读拿破仑传记有如读...
評分虽然总与人周旋,内心却总是孤寂。 这是这个矮个子一辈子的心路。 孤寂让他拥有惊人的能量,这种能量改变了欧洲。孤寂也让他的力量最终不能完全爆发。当然,他毕竟是个人。 他是个刺猬型的人。狐狸者,是那种对任何事都抱有热情的人。刺猬一生只干...
評分《俄国与拿破仑的决战》作者利芬最有用的地方在于提供了关于俄国大后方的详细信息。见多识广的读者也许会希望,利芬能够进行比书中更为深入的探讨,不过,这本书的叙述已经足以确保为评论开头提及事件中的不和谐音符提供一定的上下文背景:和其他任何地方一样,在俄国,民众往...
