• Sommario/riassunto: Eugene Labaume's narrative provides a detailed, firsthand account of the disastrous French campaign in Russia during 1812. As a captain of the Royal Geographical Engineers and an eye-witness, Labaume records the harrowing experiences of the troops, highlighting the strategic failures and human suffering caused by Napoleon's ambition. The book includes descriptions of key battles such as the Moskva and Malo-Jaroslavitz, and the retreat across the Beresina River. Labaume's objective is to faithfully document the events and the severe conditions faced by the soldiers, which he recounts with simplicity and candor. The narrative also serves as a cautionary tale against the perils of unchecked ambition and war. This edition, translated from French, is enriched with additional notes and illustrations, making it accessible to modern readers interested in military history and the Napoleonic Wars.
