If you're interested in this period, you could certainly do worse than read The Exploits of Baron de Marbot, which is the memoir of someone who actually participated in this campaign and lived to tell the tale.
One of his more interesting observations is that the Russians were actually very bad at handling the cold. Much worse than his Polish troops at any rate. What the Russians had was knowledge of the terrain, and the sympathy of the civilian inhabitants, so that they always knew where to go for shelter and warmth.
