Summary

This text is the first modern English-language biography of Mikhail Golenischev-Kutuzov, the famed Russian field marshal and central character of Leo Tolstoy's epic War and Peace. One of the most important military minds of the period, he is credited with defeating Napoleon and saving Russia, though his fame is not limited to the Napoleonic Wars. As much as Kutuzov is venerated in Russia, he remains an overlooked figure in the West. This book provides a biography of the field marshal, examining his personal life and military/diplomatic accomplishments, and relying on a wide range of primary and secondary sources as well as Russian archival material.--, Provided by publisher
