Description:
Mechanicsburg, PA: Stackpole Books, 1999. Hardcover. Very good/very good. 223 p. Occasional footnotes. Illustrations. Maps. Brief Biographical Sketches. Bibliography. Index. Denis Davidov was an officer of hussars, a partisan, a Russian hero and the inspiration for the character Denisov in Tolstoy's epic War and Peace. Here, for the very first time in English, are his captivating memoirs which, with dash and elan, convey the Russian perspective on this cataclysmic conflict. Davidov's memoirs cover the confrontation between the French and Russians in Prussia in 1806-7, including the horrific battle of Eylau; the Russian invasion of Finland in 1808; the French invasion of Russia in 1812; and the War of Liberation in Germany in 1813-14. The memoirs cover the 1812 campaign in particular in great detail as it was here that Davidov made his legendary reputation.

1841 1st ed BONAPARTE OWNED Davidov Partisan War RUSSIAN Napoleonic Wars
Denis Davidov was a Russian soldier during the Napoleonic Wars who wrote rather unconventional works many, of which, focused on the military, and aspects of war. According to Russian political historian D.S Mirksy, Davidov's works "contain some of the best military reading in the language".
At the end of August 1812, a few days before the Battle of Moscow, Davidov, who at the time was a Colonel of Hussars, obtained permission to harass the lines of French communication. This event was recorded in 'Essai sur la Guerre de Partisans' and describes methods of disrupting enemy communication beginning in the Thirty Years War.

Description:
Trumansburg, NY: Out of Step Press. Fine with no dust jacket. 2016. Numbered Edition; First Printing. Pamphlet. The author's non-linear poem about the billeting of soldiers in civilian homes in wartime. Copy 89 of a limited edition of 250. Folded into the form of a letter, the work was letterpress printed in wraps of handmade "combat paper" made from military uniforms. The author says: "Some time ago-maybe a year, maybe two? I had a conversation with some of my Combat Paper brothers (well, the kids call them their combat paper uncles, so it follows…) that led to me writing the poem "Quartering." Which was informed by them, of course, and by all the rooms I'm in, and by imagining what is really required of all the caregivers I love. It's a thought experiment: if we tore down the barracks at military hospitals and offered incentives for Americans in the surrounding neighborhoods to quarter injured service members, what would the honest instructions…
