Published by Penguin Books in 2009 and won the prestigious Wolfson History Prize. The book received rave reviews in the world media for its innovative approach to assessing and analyzing the Napoleonic wars. Prior to the release of this book, Western historiography had no comprehensive understanding of the 1812 campaign and the role played by Russia in overthrowing the Corsican. The book was published in Russian in the fall of 2012, to coincide with the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Borodino.
