ISBN: 9780007123759.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the story of how the most powerful man on earth met his doom, and how the greatest fighting force ever assembled was wiped out.; By 1810 Napoleon was master of Europe, defied only by Britain, which he could not defeat because he had no navy. His intention was to destroy Britain through a total blockade, the Continental System. But Tsar Alexander of Russia now refused to apply the blockade, and Napoleon decided to bring him to heel.; Napoleon quickly realised that nemesis awaited him, and the events of 1812 had a colossal impact on the fate of Europe: a great patriotic surge helped turn the Russians into a nation (hence Tchaikovskys 1812 overture) and led them to reject Western values; the Germans began their fateful Prussification; the French lost their cultural dominance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins Children's Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44983988224053,"sku":"ByrdShop_0007123752","price":96.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780007123759_eb43f688-dd10-48d1-aae0-a19f71be3fbf.jpg?v=1778625038","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/1812-napoleons-fatal-march-on-moscow-9780007123759","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
