The full story of
Napoleon and his crucial relationship with Russia, from the 1790s
and Bonaparte's rise to power, through the period of Austerlitz,
Tilsit and the Russian invasion, to the Emperor's fall and its
aftermath. The book not only puts the critical events of 1812 in
their proper context but also provides fresh insight into the
Napoleonic period as a whole. A fascinating period with
personalities and culture to match: Catherine the Great, 'Mad'
Tsar Paul and the enigmatic Alexander I; Generals such as Ney,
Murat, Davout, Suvorov, Kutuzov and Barclay de Tolly and statesmen
like Talleyrand, Caulaincourt and Czartoryski

MOUNTED GRENADIERS OF THE IMPERIAL GUARD
by Ronald Pawley. Illustrated by Patrice Coucelle

French army and were never defeated in battle. Their long list of
battle honours earned them the nicknames ‘the Giants’ and ‘the
Gods’. In this latest addition to the Osprey mini-series on the
Imperial Guard, author Ronald Pawly tells the story of this famous
unit using unparalleled documentary and pictorial sources.
