1812: Napoleon in Moscow Kindle Edition

This account of Napoleon’s disastrous invasion of Russia, in the words of those who experienced it, offers “a brilliant insight into men at war” (David G. Chandler, author of The Campaigns of Napoleon).
 
Hundreds of thousands of men set out on that midsummer day of 1812. None could have imagined the terrors and hardships to come.
 
They’d been lured all the way to Moscow without having achieved the decisive battle Napoleon sought—and by the time they reached the city, their numbers had already dwindled by more than a third. One of the greatest disasters in military history was in the making.
 
The fruit of more than twenty years of research, this superbly crafted work skillfully blends the memoirs and diaries of more than a hundred eyewitnesses, all of whom took part in the Grand Army’s doomed march on Moscow, to reveal the inside story of this landmark military campaign. The result is a uniquely authentic account in which the reader sees and experiences the campaign through the eyes of participants in enthralling day-by-day, sometimes hour-by-hour detail.

About the Author

PAUL BRITTEN AUSTIN was born in Dawlish, South Devon. His parents were the writers Frederick B. A. King and Mildred King. He was educated at Winchester College. In 1951, he married novelist Margareta Bergman, sister of film director Ingmar Bergman. They lived in Stockholm, where he worked for Radio Sweden as head of English-language broadcasting. Paul Britten Austin spent twenty-five years researching and writing his vast study of Napoleon’s invasion of Russia in 1812. His 1815 book follows the same principle of ‘stitching together’ eyewitness accounts to create an exciting narrative.

3.0 out of 5 stars Kindle Edition is Not the Right Book

While it appears on the website that you are purchasing the kindle Volume II of Paul Britten Austin’s Russian Campaign Trilogy (Napoleon in Moscow), you actually receive Volume I (March on Moscow). I didn’t mind much because I really wanted a Kindle version of Volume I, but buyer beware. If you are looking for Napoleon in Moscow, this isn’t it and it doesn’t look like it’s available on Kindle. Hopefully they will fix this and release all three kindle volumes properly. I’d love a kindle version of Volume II.
