includes parts that delve deeper into what the military men had to face when they
returned, as with Napoleons fall from grace they would have to watch the way they
spoke. This book is a useful source as it provides the perspective of what a military
officer experienced during Napoleon's invasion of Russia. This source will be helpful to
my argument as it shows the impact that Napoleon's invasion of Russia had on people in
those times.
