This book is tedious as hell, and I can't decide if he's pretending to be William Faulkner or if everyone in the thirties got to write whatever they wanted, but man, this is a weird book.

Really really great so far. Other reviewers say "haunting," and that's a good way to talk about the insanity and the violence of Mugabe's Zimbabwe. Whatever the many sins of white colonialism are, the Mugabe reaction is just as bad - the cure being worse than the disease.

This book is already breaking preconceptions I had about the history of the 1812 Russia campaign and the backdrop of the Napoleonic wars.

I'm only a sixth of the way through this book, and I'm already incensed that J. Edgar Hoover didn't rot in prison, but instead got a building named after him. What a fascist dirtbag.
