metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: This review offers a detailed analysis of the monograph “A terrible tragedy. A new perspective
  on the war of 1812” written by the famous French historian, Professor of the Sorbonne,
  Marie-Pierre Rey. The author of the book declares in the introduction that she has written
  “a global history of the Russian campaign”, claiming that historians are not particularly interested
  in people. It appears that the monograph is not entirely consistent with the stated global
  scale. Despite a careful analysis of the humanitarian aspects of the war, the book is concise
  with regard to military-political problems. Assessing the activities of politicians and servicemen,
  exploring their motives, the author almost always refers exclusively to memoir literature,
  and sometimes to very dubious pseudo-scholarly arguments, although there is a vast array of
  simultaneously published papers that give voluminous and truthful picture of the period. It is
  disappointing that the author who had the opportunity to work in the best archives of France
  practically didn’t introduce new sources to scholarly circulation. Moreover, there are unfortunate
  inaccuracies casting doubts on the depth of the study. For example, the author confuses
  the number of regiments with the numbers of divisions and brigades, shows little competence
  in the matter of armaments, troops and their tactics. Finally, the translation of the book into
  Russian contains unacceptable errors in terminology, which does not do justice to the ambition
  of the book to blaze a trail in the historical science.
