Reader Reviews:
Excellently written military history. (0/0 people found this helpful)
This book ranks amongst the very best military history I have ever read. It incorporates a detailed account of the action at Poltava, clear portraits of the main actors and moving accounts of what happened to so many of the ordinary Swedish soldiers. As it says on the cover, it pulls no punches about fighting. It makes an excellent starting point for delving into warfare of the era.
