About Item: Alexandria, VA: Time-Life Books, 1980. Reprint . Paperback. New/None as Issued. NEW COPY w/trace wear to softcover. Miliary memoir. Napoleon's invasion of Russia, know in Russia as the Patriotic War of 1812, was marked with easy summer victories, sacking of Moscow, and ending in devasting defeat in Russian winter. In this memoir, Philippe-Paul de Ségur, aide-de-camp to Napoleon, close to all goings-on at headquarters, was tied to Bonaparte in affection, respect and loyalty, but neverthless writes with remarkable critical detachment. Beyond a chronical, the book is a primary historical resource for other writers, fiction or otherwise; "at least four memorable incident from Tolstoy's War and Peace and straight out of Segur".
