The Campaign Of 1812 In Russia - Carl Von Clausewitz - Bog - Hachette Books - Plusbog.dk

The Campaign Of 1812 In Russia - Carl Von Clausewitz - Bog - Hachette Books - Plusbog.dk

"Clausewitz [was], without question, the greatest analyst and student of Napoleon''s art of war. . . . Of the numerous accounts of the 1812 campaign . . . few provide greater insight or have contributed more to our understanding of it."--George F. Nafziger, author of Napoleon''s Invasion of Russia On June 23, 1812, Napoleon''s Grande Armée, over 500,000 men strong, poured over the Russian border. An equally massive Russian army faced them. The ensuing campaign was a catastrophe for Napoleon. Although the battle of Borodino, which resulted in heavy losses on both sides, allowed Napoleon to enter Moscow, his stay in that empty and decimated city was disastrous. By the time Napoleon had retreated to the Berezina river in late November, his Grande Armée was only a fifth of its original strength. His retreat had become a rout, and his allies began to desert him. In this book, Clausewitz analyzes all the significant players with sharp and enlightening characterizations, and provides perhaps the best eyewitness accounts of the battle of Borodino and the Convention of Tauroggen. The Campaign of 1812 in Russia is a brilliantly observed study of one of the major turning points of history. New foreword by Sir Michael Howard

Journal Of The Waterloo Campaign - Cavalie Mercer - Bog - Hachette Books - Plusbog.dk

Journal Of The Waterloo Campaign - Cavalie Mercer - Bog - Hachette Books - Plusbog.dk

"An outstanding picture of the haste, confusion, and uncertainty of both the campaign and the battle, written by a man who definitely was there!"--Col. John R. Elting, author of Swords Around a Throne: Napoleon''s Grande Armee Journal of the Waterloo Campaign remains one of the most famous personal accounts of the climactic three days which ended the military career and empire of Napoleon Bonaparte. Captain Cavalié Mercer (1783-1868), commander of G Troop of the Royal Horse Artillery in Wellington''s army, was a skilled writer who recorded the day''s events each evening. As a result, readers can experience through Mercer''s keen eye the turbulence and graphic immediacy of the entire campaign: the news of Napoleon''s return from Elba; the landing of Wellington''s forces in Belgium; the lulls and hard marching; the battle at Quatre Bras (where Mercer fired a few rounds at Napoleon himself); Wellington''s retreat; the ferocious fighting at Waterloo; and Mercer''s own bold contribution to the larger Allied victory.

Detroit Rock City - Steve Miller - Bog - Hachette Books - Plusbog.dk

Detroit Rock City - Steve Miller - Bog - Hachette Books - Plusbog.dk

Detroit Rock City is an oral history of Detroit and its music told by the people who were on the stage, in the clubs, the practice rooms, studios, and in the audience, blasting the music out and soaking it up, in every scene from 1967 to today. From fabled axe men like Ted Nugent, Dick Wagner, and James Williamson jump to Jack White, to pop flashes Suzi Quatro and Andrew W.K., to proto punkers Brother Wayne Kramer and Iggy Pop, Detroit slices the rest of the land with way more than its share of the Rock Pie. Detroit Rock City is the story that has never before been sprung, a frenzied and schooled account of both past and present, calling in the halcyon days of the Grande Ballroom and the Eastown Theater, where national acts who came thru were made to stand and deliver in the face of the always hard hitting local support acts. It moves on to the Michigan Palace, Bookies Club 870, City Club, Gold Dollar, and Magic Stick -- all magical venues in America''s top rock city. Detroit Rock City brings these worlds to life all from the guys and dolls who picked up a Strat and jammed it into our collective craniums. From those behind the scenes cats who promoted, cajoled, lost their shirts, and popped the platters to the punters who drove from everywhere, this is the book that gives life to Detroit''s legend of loud.
