Russian Snows: Coming of Age in Napoleon's Army is the story of Napoleon's ill-fated invasion of Russia as witnessed by 14 year old Henri Carle. Attaching himself to the French army, Henri manages to stay close to his older brother during the buildup and march to Moscow. He ends up in the ranks after the army suffers tremendous losses from disease, hunger and battle.
As the first Frenchman into Russia, foraging for food, escaping ambushes, repairing a vital bridge to aid the army's escape, witnessing the burning of Moscow and meeting Napoleon, Henri is forced to use his wits, skills and quick thinking to survive. Henri's story is woven into actual events and incidents from the campaign in this ultimately uplifting adventure that paints a picture of what life was like for the common soldier.
In 1812, Napoleon launched his invasion of Russia with an army of 500,000 men. Only 20,000 survived the devastating campaign to return home. This story will entertain and inform young adult readers and history buffs while they identify with Henri as he comes of age and takes on the responsibilities of a man.
