Borodino: A tiny hamlet set in the monotonous Russian countryside seventy miles west of Moscow on the road from Smolensk.
On 7 September 1812 its tranquillity was shattered when a quarter of a million men with 1,200 guns fought with singular bravery and bitterness for access to the Russian capital.
This masterly account of the battle includes an overview of the political and strategic situation which preceded it and its aftermath, plus a full analysis of the major participants and the fighting. There are many vivid quotations from contemporary eyewitnesses. It is fully illustrated with photographs, battleplans and maps.
