Owing to the Russian army's scorched earth tactics, the French find it hard to

forage food for themselves and their horses. The Russians eventually offer battle
outside Moscow. The Battle of Borodino results in about 44,000 Russian and
35,000 French dead, wounded or captured.

Although the French win, the Russian army has withstood the major battle
Napoleon had hoped would be decisive. Napoleon's own account: "The most
terrible of all my battles was the one before Moscow. The French showed

themselves to be worthy of victory, but the Russians showed themselves worthy
of being invincible." (24) Napoleon retreats with most of his Grand Armee
intact. On the long march home, typhus wipes out most of his men.

The retreat from Russia proves disastrous for Napoleon. Contrary to popular
belief, it was neither the Russian Army nor, nor hunger, nor the cold that wiped
out most of his returning Grand Armee. It was the lice-spread disease of typhus.
