1988 Poltava - berättelsen om en armés undergång
|
||||
|
The Battle of Poltava is the gripping account of those three violent, frantic days of fighting. It recreates in dramatic detail the lives of those who fought, those who followed and those who died on the long road, but its focus is the battle itself, gruesome and terrifying as it was. For the extraordinary intimacy of its description, it is internationally acclaimed as one of the great classics of military history. But Peter Englund’s narrative tells a more general story of war at the time. Amidst immense suffering and slaughter, he tells of how an army survived, how it was managed, who joined the ranks and why. He tells of preparations and strategy, of supply lines and politics. And the wealth of detail in this immensely readable book lies the greater history of the 17th and 18th centuries.
