Heroes of the War of 1812. A. Tkachenko

This book is a fascinating and vivid history lesson. Two hundred years ago, a dangerous and powerful enemy invaded Russia—the vast army of French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte. By then, he had already conquered almost all of Europe and was confident of a swift victory. Napoleon underestimated one thing: in Russia, he faced not only an army. The entire Russian people rose up against the uninvited guests to defend their Fatherland. Heroes of the war were ordinary peasants and renowned commanders, courageous generals and brave soldiers, and even teenagers and women. Kutuzov, Bagration, Yermolov, Cossack Ataman Platov, hussar Denis Davydov, cavalrywoman Nadezhda Durova—the author not only recalls these and other lesser-known names but also recreates the key moments of the war associated with them, helping the reader make their own discoveries, remember interesting facts, and understand the main point: what the Patriotic War of 1812 was and still is in the destiny of our country.
