Richard’s comments from the Baker H Block Class group.

I am reading "Napoleon: From Tilsit to Waterloo". While most books tell the story of the Napoleonic Wars from the French perspective, this book tells it from the perspective of the Russians. I'm only around 100 pages into it, but so far it has a much more solemn mood than most related books. For example, while most books emphasize the effect of Russia's scorched earth tactics on the French army, this book tells the story of its devastating effect on the Russian people. At first I wasn't sure if a I would be interested by a nonfiction book, but so far it has turned out to be interesting.
