Dominic Lieven is a senior research fellow at Trinity College, Cambridge, and a fellow of the British Academy.

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.

评分毫无疑问,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...
评分《俄国与拿破仑的决战》既富有可读性,又是一本划时代的历史著作,因为它实现了对拿破仑战争学术研究的重要补充。丝毫不出意外,原著收获了一连串大奖,当之无愧的“最佳图书”。本书装帧精美,颜色极具冲击力,恰好反映了书中两大帝国精彩的对决。
