Anne Applebaum -- Out in the Cold (839 words)
MOSCOW 1812: Napoleon's Fatal March By Adam Zamoyski HarperCollins, pp.
Zamoyski, a British historian of Polish origin and the author of numerous books, wanted to use firsthand accounts and memoirs in order to put right the facts and bring alive the history in a way that would make sense to contemporary readers.
Zamoyski -- whom, I should add here, I met many years ago -- was aided by being able to speak most of the languages used by the commanders and soldiers who fought in Napoleon's Grande Armee, at the time the largest military force ever assembled.
Christopher Clark on Rites of Peace by Adam Zamoyski - Literary Review - (1321 words)
Zamoyski weaves his high-political narrative into an account of the world of travel, consumption, sociability and sex that surrounded the summiteers.
The protagonists of Zamoyski's account are forever arriving and departing in mud-spattered carriages, recovering from sea-sickness, searching for furniture to fill empty apartments, and coping with the insolence of unfamiliar servants.
Zamoyski has a sharp eye for the vanity of prominent men and for the discrepancies between intention and outcome.
