The Diary of a Napoleonic Foot Soldier, by Jakob Walter; edited and with an introduction by Marc Raeff; copyright Doubleday, 1991; Penguin Books/Penguin Group (USA) Inc., 1993. (If I've understood the copyright page correctly, it's the 21st printing.) Fascinating account of three Napoleonic-era campaigns by a conscripted foot soldier of a Germanic vassal-state, including the Moscow campaign.
