The Russian Patriotic War of 1812 Volumes 1–3 presents the only complete English-language translation of General Alexander Bogdanovich’s official history of Russia’s war against Napoleon, supplemented by extracts from Ivan Liprandi’s contemporary critique.

Together, these three volumes provide a detailed Russian perspective on the 1812 campaign, from the causes of war and the strategic planning behind the Russian retreat, through the great battles and manoeuvres around Smolensk, Borodino, and Moscow, to the final destruction and expulsion of the Grande Armée from the Russian Empire. The series covers operations on the main axis and the northern and southern flanks, the role of militias and allied forces, logistics, force composition, casualties, and command decisions at every stage of the campaign.

Based on extensive access to Russian state archives and supported by detailed maps, battle plans, orders of battle, correspondence, and critical commentary, this three-volume bundle offers exceptional value and stands as an indispensable primary-source-based reference for students of Napoleonic warfare, Russian history, and operational military studies.
