I have often thought about getting one of those ereaders, but you just can't find unusual titles like this one on the websites that have ebooks.
A tale of men very different from those who populate the Western world today. But also a story of how it's not just the cannon and saber that decide the great battles.
I have no idea how or why I acquired this book. Did Typhus kill Nap's army?
