Masterly reconstruction - the detail is stupefying
Many books have been written about Napoleon's disastrous Russian adventure and their blurbs would have one believe that there is little to add about the campaign that marked the beginning of the end for the French emperor. However, I think, this work, painstakingly researched, is in a class of its own. It covers just about every aspect of the march to Moscow and how everyone and everything en route was affected.
The detail is stupefying - a masterly reconstruction.
