About this product

Product Information

Eighteen-year-old German stonemason Jakob Walter served in the Grand Army of Napoleon between 1806 and 1813. His diary intimately records his trials: the long, grueling marches in Prussia and Poland, the disastrous Russian campaign, and the demoralizing defeat in a war few supported or understood. It is at once a compelling chronicle of a young soldier's loss of innocence and an eloquent and moving portrait of the profound effects of all wars on the men who fight them. Also included are letters home from the Russian front, previously unpublished in English, as well as period engravings and maps from the Russian/Soviet and East European collections of the New York Public Library. "Vivid and gruesome ... but also a story of human fortitude. ... It reminds us that the troops Napoleon drove so mercilessly were actually more victims than victors--a side of Napoleon that should not be forgotten." -- Chicago Tribune

    would recommend it to any napoleonic period fans

    I am writing a chapter in as scientific book about the napoleonic wars, about the topic food and preparing of the food. I am looking for comparising diarys to the swedish and finnish which i have read. And this book has given me some very valuable information and one really good story to write in my work. I am very satisfied with the ways it is put up also. easy to find which campaigne he is writing about.
