Dominic Lieven has spent many years studying Imperial Russia and is the author of the highly praised Empire: The Russian Empire and Its Rivals. He is Professor of Russian Government at the London School of Economics. He lives in London.
This book tells the story of one of the most astonishing dramas in Europe’s history. In the summer of 1812 after years of uneasy peace, Napoleon, the master of almost the whole continent, marched into Russia with the largest army ever assembled, confident that he would sweep everything before him. Less than two years later the Russian army was itself marching into Paris and Napoleon’s empire lay in ruins. Using an array of new, rare and surprising sources, Dominic Lieven writes with great panache and insight to describe from the Russians’ viewpoint how they went from retreat, defeat and the burning of Moscow to becoming the new liberators of Europe. He conveys the savagery and valour of the fighting (including such huge set-pieces as the Battle of Leipzig), the often tense diplomacy that held together the Allied coalition against Napoleon and the astonishing feats of supply which allowed the Russian army to cut its way across Europe.The consequences of these events could not have been more important: after a whole generation of fighting, Europe (except for the brief coda of Waterloo) was at peace and France’s global pretensions at an end. But the great winners, Britain and Russia, now presented new nightmares for the rest of the world. Much more than just battlefield history, Russia Against Napoleon is also the story of how Russia's home front was mobilised against Napoleon and how much the Russian people suffered in pursuit of victory. It is too the story of one of the most successful espionage operations in history. Ultimately this book shows, memorably and brilliantly, Russia embarking on its strange, central role in Europe’s existence, as both threat and protector – a role that continues, in all its complexity, into our own lifetimes.

評分金融时报评论这本书称:这本博学而非凡的历史研究著作,是伟大的故事,依托于一系列令人印象深刻的资料来源于细节。而观察家据此书认为:这是一本令人瞩目的著作,表明当代西方世界对拿破仑时代解读的最大空白在于俄国。 此书有广阔的智慧,以及文雅幽默的笔调,既刺激又诙谐。
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...
