Produktinformationen "The Emperor's Descent"
In 1812, Napoleon Bonaparte stood at the zenith of his power, commanding the mightiest army Europe had ever seen. But his ambitious campaign into the vast, unforgiving expanses of Russia would become a watershed moment in history—a journey from tri-umph to catastrophe that reshaped the destiny of an empire. In The Emperor's Descent, Gaston Serraz masterfully chronicles the dramatic unfolding of Napoleon's Russian campaign, from the fateful decision to invade, to the brutal battles that tested the limits of the Grande Armée, and finally to the harrowing retreat that marked the unraveling of his imperial ambitions. Through vivid storytelling and meticulous research, Serraz captures the human and strategic dimensions of a campaign that would define the rise and fall of one of history's greatest leaders. Discover how the icy Russian winter, the resilience of a nation, and the hubris of a man turned a quest for dominance into a cautionary tale of overreach and resilience. The Emperor's Descent is an unflinching examination of the fragile line between glory and ruin, offering timeless insights into leadership, strategy, and the indomitable forces of history.
