“The work is so magnificent that, once you start reading, it is impossible to tear yourself away from the book... The elegant style and manner of the narrator, a bold revision of established stereotypes and a story about the grave suffering of people... Read the book, and you will feel as if you walked with Napoleon’s soldiers all the way to Moscow and back...” All these are quotes from foreign periodicals, which appreciated the work of A. Zamoyski, now offered to the attention of the Russian reader, “1812. Fatal March on Moscow.” A translation of the famous and reprinted many times book, which has become a bestseller in scientific historical literature, is offered to the domestic reader. The famous American military historian, Adam Zamoyski, managed, using a lot of unique and often little-known material in French, German, Polish, Russian and Italian, to create a grandiose, objective and historically accurate narrative about the memorable war of 1812, allowing us to look at seemingly long-known facts history from a completely different perspective and feel all the tragedy and depth of human suffering that accompanies any war and which reached seemingly unimaginable limits during that campaign, already two centuries distant from us. Perhaps there is nothing to add, except perhaps one thing: Anyone who has not read this book knows little—negligibly little—about the French invasion of Russia. Therefore, it will undoubtedly be of interest to any reader - both a specialist and a newcomer to the topic.
