“A work of this description, which contributes new data for the
Military History of the age, cannot fail of proving acceptable to
the public. It is written by a well-known Russian-General; and the
details, we feel sure, are as correct as they are
interesting.”--UNITED SERVICE GAZ.
“Although the military operations of the invasion of France have
been before narrated by numerous eye-witnesses, still there is much
new and interesting matter in the present history.”--NAVAL AND
