An equally massive Russian army faced them. The ensuing campaign was a catastrophe for Napoleon. Although the battle of Borodino, which resulted in heavy losses on both sides, allowed Napoleon to enter Moscow, his stay in that empty and decimated city was disastrous. By the time Napoleon had retreated to the Berezina river in late November, his Grande Arm馥 was only a fifth of its original strength. His retreat had become a rout, and his allies began to desert him. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this book, Clausewitz analyzes all the significant players with sharp and enlightening characterizations, and provides perhaps the best eyewitness accounts of the battle of Borodino and the Convention of Tauroggen. \u003ci\u003eThe Campaign of 1812 in Russia \u003c\/i\u003eis a brilliantly observed study of one of the major turning points of history.\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew foreword by Sir Michael Howard\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carl Von Clausewitz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0306806509\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780306806506\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Da Capo Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/22\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.39h x 5.42w x 0.88d","brand":"Carl Von Clausewitz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981543637247,"sku":"9780306806506","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7b753c69-89ae-4539-a2a7-398d5a304282.jpg?v=1683256191","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-campaign-of-1812-in-carl-von-clausewitz-9780306806506","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
