About This Book

The work traces the collapse of the Franco‑Russian partnership under Napoleon and Alexander I, analyzing political motives, secret diplomacy, and military preparations that preceded open rupture. It explores the tsar's hidden aims regarding Poland, covert appeals to Polish leaders, and attempts to sway Austria, Prussia, Sweden and German states. The narrative examines economic pressures from the continental blockade, court and salon influences, espionage, and the balance of forces across Europe, detailing maneuvers, diplomatic correspondence, and the interplay between public alliance and private scheming that led Russia to prepare an offensive despite formally maintaining union with France.
