"Reading on the Great Procession 1805 Tsar..." Topic

… Alexander's First War with Napoleon.

"More book reviews I'm afraid, at least until later in our tour of India. We've been to Mumbai and Goa and are presently in Bangalore where it's a beautiful 31 degrees Celsius. Once the wedding celebrations are finally over we head further south to Mysore, en route staying at a jungle lodge and then on to Cunoor.

Phew! For a minute there I thought I would have to add this title to my to-buy list, but thankfully, I have already obtained it via some gratefully accepted Christmas Book vouchers.

It is not a big book being only 149 pages of text, plus a 2 page Index. There are 8 maps of which five cover the actual battle and battlefield. There are no prints or photographs, period or modern day and no images/illustrations of troops involved.

I've not yet read the book, so I'm unable to offer any comments on the contents other than it will hopefully make a welcome change to reading about the 1815 or Peninsular actions.

I'm just thankful that I already own it and won't increase my unread mountain of titles, which never seems to get reduced no matter how many books I read. LOL

Thanks my good friend…
