Following on from Patrick Rambaud's Goncourt Prize winning novel, The Battle, The Retreat offers an extraordinarily vivid and memorable depiction of the disastrous Russian campaign of 1812. A sense of dread and the knowledge that the French will have to retreat from Moscow combine with Rambaud's great narrative flair to create a mesmerizing and tense drama. A dire account of human suffering proves, in the second volume of Rambaud's acclaimed Napoleonic trilogy, a striking testament to the extremes of human behaviour in adversity.
