Rating:
Summary: Napoleonic wars (described without much romanticism...)
Review: Napoleonic battlefields where a nightmare, but probably the conditions of warfare as a whole where also terrible due to the precarious conditions of suplies and logistics, add to this cold and mud and you'll have the cocktail wich resumes the historic fiction basis of this book.
A very good read if you do not mind horrid descriptions of combat in the XIXth century.
If a napoleonic buff specially recomended.
Only four stars but could have been five if a little more attention to small details (and less reiteration about weather conditions) had been taken in consideration.

A MUST FOR XIXth CENTURY FANS.
