註釋Napoleon Journal has earned critical acclaim for provocative battle and campaign studies (using translated European primary sources), original artwork and uniform illustrations, detailed color maps and orders-of-battle, reviews, travel guides, etc., celebrating the 200th anniversary of a fascinating and exciting period of history: the French Revolution and Age of Napoleon Bonaparte.It was an epic battle in an age of grand confrontation. The battle of Borodino on 7 September 1812 saw Emperor Napoleon's multinational Grande Armee set against the Russian Imperial Army under Prince Mikhail Kutuzov. It was the largest single-day battle of the Napoleonic Wars, involving nearly 250,000 soldiers for both sides. When it was over, almost one third of them were casualties. The decisive victory Napoleon hoped for in the 1812 campaign would elude him. The Russians, although badly mauled and forced to retreat, still had the resolve to continue the fight.
