1816 English 1ed Campaign in Russia Napoleonic War French Invasion Labaume MAPS

The French invasion of Russia of 1812 was a turning point in the Napoleonic Wars. The campaign reduced the French and allied invasion forces to a tiny fraction of their initial strength. Eugene Labaume was a geographical engineer and historian who wrote 'A circumstantial narrative of the campaign in Russia' as a narrative of the Napoleonic campaigns in Russia in 1812. Labaume discusses the Campaign of Paris in 1814, the battle of Paris, which was fought during the Napoleonic Wars, and the French defeat, which led directly to the abdication of Napoleon I.

This 1816 first English edition includes a frontispiece portrait of Napoleon with the two folding battle plans.
