Borodino and the 1812 (1973) By Christopher Duffy
On the 7th of September 1812, the armies of the French and Russian empires closed in battle on the approaches to Moscow. Some 258,000 men were engaged on a front of less than three miles in what the Russian commander called 'the most bloody battle of modern times.' When the battle was over the ground was strewn with the bodies of 94,000 men and horses. In Napoleon's phrase. this was truly 'a battle of giants.'
Napoleon had failed in his aim to destroy the Russian army in one decisive blow and thereafter every day he spent in Russia served to make the final ruin of his own army complete.
