The “leader is unhappy” was called A. S. Pushkin of the brilliant Russian commander, General-Field Marshal of Prince Mikhail Bogdanovich Barclay de Tolly. The role of this man in the history of the Patriotic War of 1812 and the subsequent foreign campaign of the Russian army cannot be overestimated: he withdrawn troops from Napoleon’s crushing strike, putting into life the unpopular but only possible plan for warfare. And two years later it was Barclay de Tolly who brought the allied armies to Paris. Our book is devoted to the fate and combat path of this man, which is largely incomprehensible and underestimated by contemporaries.
