Description

Why did Napoleon’s invincible army suffer a crushing defeat precisely in Russia? How did the partisan movement become that very “club of the people’s war,” and for what reason did Kutuzov decide to abandon Moscow? This book will take you through the key milestones of the Patriotic War of 1812—from the Bagration flèches to the beginning of the French army’s retreat.

The Patriotic War of 1812 was the hardest trial for Russia throughout its entire history. Never before had Napoleon’s “invincible” troops been routed so thoroughly, nor had the people demonstrated such rare unity and fortitude.

With this book, you’ll be transported to the era of the “thunderstorm of the twelfth year” and learn where the famous Bagration flèches were located, why Kutuzov decided to abandon Moscow, how partisans turned into the “club of the people’s war,” when the French began to retreat, and much more!

Additional materials in PDF format are included with the book: you can download them on the audiobook page on the site after purchase.
