Volume 2: Book 10 - Chapter 28

Characters Present:

Napoleon Bonaparte 

Location:


Borodíno



Many historians say that the Battle of Borodíno was lost because Napoleon had a cold, possibly because his valet had forgotten to bring him his waterproof boots a few days earlier.

Tolstoy argues that 80,000 men, by their own volition, in combination with the events leading to this moment, had gone into battle and gotten killed.
