{"product_id":"with-napoleon-in-russia","title":"With Napoleon In Russia","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis handsome book is a unique record of Napoleons invasion of Russia by Faber du Faur  a talented artist and front-line soldier. It combines his detailed  accurate and compelling illustrations of scenes recorded as they actually happened with his vivid and gripping memoirs of the campaign. The result is a superb and remarkably detailed evocation of 1812  from the sweeping battle scenes which capture the ordeal of Smolensk and Borodino  to the day-to-day struggle to keep campfires burning and famished men fed. Faber du Faurs plates - admired and highly-regarded primary source material - are here presented  for the first time  complete and in full color. His moving and frank memoirs  edited and translated by Jonathan North  are accompanied by a detailed campaign history and biography of the artist. Napoleons invasion of Russia is a legendary campaign and a captivating story of endurance  survival and the rigors of total war. Few of the 500 000 men to cross the Niemen in July 1812 were to survive - the French army was decimated by the advance into the heart of Russia  and almost completely destroyed in the epic retreat from Moscow. With Napoleon in Russia is a unique presentation of this epic and an unforgettable depiction of the horrors of war.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44965051138101,"sku":"ByrdShop_1853674540","price":74.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781853674549.jpg?v=1770487462","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/with-napoleon-in-russia","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
