The Illustrated Memoirs of Major Faber du Faur, 1812, edited and translated by Jonathan North 'Faber du Faur's account with its unique archive of pictures is surely an excellent first port of call for anyone interested in both those glorious and terrible days of 1812.' - Kelvin van Hasselt in Battlefields Review. 'The inspiration to be found between its covers for military modellers, particularly of the diorama and vignette persuasion, make this a must. Greenhill Books are to be congratulated for making this work available to a much wider readership than would otherwise have been possible. Highly recommended.' - Robert J. Marrion in Military Modelling. 'With the vast amount of literature published on the Napoleonic period each year, it is difficult to imagine that something totally new, unique and valuable could possibly be produced. With Napoleon in Russia is just that. This work is something exceptional in the field of Napoleonic publishing ... These pictures are as near to a photographic record of the campaign as is possible to get. They represent a superb pictorial account of Napoleon's invasion from the crossing of the Niemen in June to scenes of the retreat in December 1812. We are presented with a highly detailed look at all aspects of the campaign, as well as life as soldier from the viewpoint of the Wurttemberg Army ... The pictures are highly detailed, and each one demands a long and close scrutiny to see all the fascinating and interesting features. ... With Napoleon in Russia provides a detailed source of information, both pictorial and textual, that enhances our knowledge of Napoleonic warfare. Each picture has to be viewed closely and repeatedly to take in all of its detail, and this means that not only is it a joy to look at, but it is one of the most informative books to be published in recent years. Highly recommended.' - Paul Chamberlain in First Empire.
