About this Item

1825 NAPOLEON Bonaparte 1ed Grand Army Russia Baron Gourgaud Comte de Segur Duel Gaspard, Baron Gourgaud s work, Napoleon and the Grand Army in Russia, critically examines and counters the narrative presented by Phillipe Paul, Comte de Segur, in his portrayal of Napoleon during the 1812 Russian campaign. Serving as Napoleon s principal orderly officer and close confidant, Gourgaud leverages his firsthand experiences and extensive diary entries to challenge Segur s account, accusing him of factual inaccuracies, distorted storytelling, and blending unrelated events. The dispute between the two escalated to a duel, resulting in an injury to Segur. This edition of Gourgaud s book not only provides a meticulous critique of Segur s work but also includes a substantial 54-page appendix, detailing various orders issued by Napoleon during that year, thereby offering a comprehensive and authoritative alternative perspective on the events of 1812.
