Synopsis
The author, an editor of Campaigns Magazine for ten years, has written a groundbreaking new study of Napoleon's disasterous Russian campaign of 1812. In doing this, he has employed primary sources never before translated from the German and Russian. He points out the real reasons for Napoleon's defeat which had nothing to do with cold weather but rather were a complex combination of faulty logistics, bureaucratic mismanagement and Napoleon's own but uncharacteristic indecision and bad choices.

It was securely wrapped in bubble wrap and covered with styrofoam peanuts. I’m always impressed when a book is shipped with extra care. The shipping speed was very fast and the item was as described on the website. For a book published in 1981 and being in quite good condition, I think this purchase was a decent value overall. I am pleased with my purchase and would definitely buy from this seller again. Thank you!!Custer and His Times (LIMITED EDITION OF 320 COPIES) (#385417903596)
