Talks begin at 7.30pm in the Ballroom £4 (£3) Wed 19 Dec: 1812 Napoleon’s Invasion of Russia Napoleon’s Russian campaign of 1812 was to mark the turning point in the fortunes of his Empire. The campaign and the disastrous retreat from Moscow were not only to cost the lives of over half a million of his soldiers, but destroyed the myth of Napoleon’s invincibility. However, Napoleon’s defeat was perhaps more due to his own mistakes than to the Russian winter. What really happened? Stamford Arts Centre Stamford Arts Centre 27 St Mary's Street Stamford Lincs.
