It was to be Napoleon Bonaparte's greatest adventure, an invasion of Russia with an army of more than 650,000 men, the largest the world had yet seen. The Emperors irresistible progress into the vast Russian interior saw the Battle of Borodino, one of the bloodiest day's fighting in military history. But the Emperor would finally be defeated, not in battle, but by a combination of Russian guile and the savage winter snows. Even now, the infamous retreat from Moscow eptiomises the suffering of ordinary soldiers. Narrated by Robert Powell
