How the common French guardsman and the common Russian hunter experienced the battles of the Napoleonic Wars. In addition to expert commentary on the initial military situation, the infantry tactics used and questions about the soldiers' equipment, the main focus here is on describing the actual fighting at the lowest level. Reports from battle participants give an undisguised picture of the close combat, of the fears and chaos of the engagements and battles.
