Philippe Henri de Segur was a French officer-an aide de camp-on Napoleon's staff-who served with the Grand Army throughout the Russian Campaign of 1812. This made him the ideal author for its history. He witnessed the early successes of the French and allied armies and the pyrrhic victory of Borodino. He accompanied Napoleon to the Kremlin and saw Moscow burning. By no means least; he was able to report the nightmare retreat through the snows of winter which brought about the destruction of an army and the beginning of the end of Napoleon and the golden epoch of the First Empire. Segur has created a memorable work-part history-part first hand account-which takes the reader vividly to the heart of these terrible events whilst clearly explaining their sequence. Originally published in two substantial volumes; Segur's entire work appears here its entirety-in a single comprehensive edition from Leonaur.

The book provides a glimpse into the current Israeli Defense Force's Air Superiority Fighter; the F-15 Bas (Buzzard)/Eagle. (F-16 being the multipurpose and less costly fighter/bomber; of the duo). 0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Interesting coverageBy Keith E. BudzynskiI enjoyed this book. It was typical of this series; but was interesting to learn the challenges Israel had to get all of the F-15s.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
