I am a fan of Cornwell's historical/adventure novels. According to the blurb, this is his first history. This topic, as the subtitle suggests, is enormous. The author manages to keep the narrative moving briskly - testimony to his superlative powers as a narrator. Cornwell takes the role of historian seriously, producing an excellent book for the general reader. Excellent maps and illustrations also helped me follow the history of this complex, fascinating battle.
