Ep 038 – Nonfiction. In 1812 the French emperor Napoleon invaded Russia. For this purpose, he gathered an army of half a million, including C.J. Wagevier, a Dutch officer who was captured and spent nearly 2 years in Russian captivity. Samuel de Korte joins me to discuss his translation of C.J.’s memoir of that time, “Fighting for Napoleon's Army in Russia: A POW's Memoir.” Support local bookstores & buy Samuel’s translation here: https://bookshop.org/a/92235/9781399089753 Subscribe to the War Books podcast here: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@warbookspodcast Apple: https://apple.co/3FP4ULb Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3kP9scZ Follow the show here: Twitter: https://twitter.com/warbookspodcast Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/warbookspodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/warbookspodcast/
