About this book

Russia played a fundamental role in the outcome of Napoleonic Wars; the wars also had an impact on almost every area of Russian life. Russia and the Napoleonic Wars brings together significant and new research from Russian and non-Russian historians and their work demonstrates the importance of this period both for Russia and for all of Europe.

Reviews

“This is a valuable book: it introduces new features of Napoleonic Russia to the non-specialist, it strikes a good thematic balance between domestic and foreign policy, and between society, economics and politics; and for all the vastness of its subject, it nonetheless conveys a sense of how the ordinary Russian experienced this turbulent period.” (Michael Rowe, perspectivia.net, June, 2017) 

“All of the chapters are mercifully short, direct, well explicated, and easily read. A well-done book. ... Summing Up: Recommended. Most levels/libraries.” (N. E. Bou-Nacklie, Choice, Vol. 53 (9), May, 2016)
