In the spring of 1814, enemy forces invaded France. This book brings together dozens of letters, diaries, and memoirs of Russian participants of the 1814 Campaign. Reading these documents we see what Russian officers and soldiers experienced during the final months of the campaign that started back in 1812 as well as their joy at winning the war over France. We follow them not only through the heat of the battle but also on delightful tours of Paris, which they describe as the pleasure and entertainment capital of the world.
