What is the true cause of the armed confrontation between Russia and France? What led to the failure of attempts by the Franco-Russian Union? Were the war with Russia on the part of Napoleon his true goal and desire? How did the "Polish question" solved the parties to the conflict and what is its role in the confrontation between the great powers? Were Alexander I and his empire victims of the aggressive plans of Napoleon? Did the Russian emperor have plans for a preventive war with Europe controlled by Bonaparte? Whose intelligence was stronger and more sophisticated in obtaining information about the enemy? What is the role of Great Britain and the Franco-British conflict in the fate of relations between Russia and France? How did the continental blockade actually affect the economy of the Russian Empire? Was there an opportunity for Alexander I, subject to fidelity to the spirit and the letter of Tilsit and Erfurt agreements, expand the boundaries of Russian influence to the Stockholm-Konstantinopol-Bosphorus Balkan axis?
In the already legendary book of the leading historian of the Napoleonic wars on all these, and on many other difficult issues of the diplomatic competition of two great powers, clear answers are given, based on a wide source base of both Russian and French documents, many of which for the first time for the first time They come out of the silence of archives available to the mass reader
