The Strange Maps blog posted and discussed a fascinating map/graph of Napoleon's Russian campaign, 1812-1813, shown above.
We now have a copy of this map hanging on the wall in the Northwest History Network office, which is beside the point in all regards save one: Seeing the map in the office the other day, I was reminded both that it existed and how fascinatingly effective it is in getting across the point that war is hell, and absolute war corrupts absolutely.
