An engrossing novel about a young farmhand, Adam, who is tricked into service in Napoleon's Grande Armée on the eve of his disastrous invasion of Russia, in 1811. "Less than a quarter of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers returned safely home," a historical note tells us. As the aide to an aristocratic young lieutenant, Adam is spared much of the agony, though not all, as he witnesses the ill-fated adventure.Hahaha! I didn't write that, but I found it on a site, it pretty much explains it.
WARNING! Josef Holub is a verrry graphic writer, he tells is like it is, man! So don't say I didn't warn you, if you decide to read it, and put it down on the first chapter in disgust!
Rating: 43/4 snazzies!
