Review
Praise for '1812: Napoleon's Fatal March on Moscow': 'Zamoyski's book is a brilliant piece of narrative history, full of sparkling set-pieces, a wholly fascinating account of what must be reckoned one of the greatest military disasters of all time.' Sunday Telegraph 'No review can do justice to the scholarly integrity and human sensitivity of this book, or to the horror is describes!1812 is one of the greatest stories ever told.' Christopher Woodward, Spectator 'Adam Zamoyski's account of the 1812 campaign is so brilliant that it is impossible to put the book aside!A master craftsman at work.' Sunday Times 'An utterly admirable book. It combines clarity of thought and prose with a strong narrative drive.' Daily Telegraph
The Economist
'Impressively detailed diplomatic history...The author keeps up a strong narrative drive...'
Sunday Times
'...masterly and exhaustive...I closed the book full of admiration
for its author.'
