French Guardsman vs Russian Jaeger

Format: PDF



About this book
The Russian Jaeger regiments and Napoleon’s Young Guard clashed repeatedly during
 the campaigns of 1812–14.
 The Russian Jaeger were light infantry who gained enormous experience and prestige during
 the struggle to rid Europe of Napoleon’s armies, while the Young Guard
 was expanded to become the main strike force of the French field armies.
  In appalling winter conditions in 1812, the Young Guard turned to confront their opponents,
 including Jaeger forces, at Krasnyi. In the face of constant bombardment,
 Young Guard regiments held off the Russians, covering the retreat of large parts of Napoleon’s forces.
 They clashed again at Leipzig in 1813 and then again in the bitter cold at Craonne in 1814,
 where horrendous casualties finally told on the newly formed Young Guard units pitched
 into an attack upon Russian Jaeger regiments. Putting the reader in the shoes
 of the ordinary soldiers of both sides, this absorbing book traces the evolving
trial of strength between Russia’s Jaeger arm and
France’s Young Guardsmen at the height of the Napoleonic Wars.
