What’s this?
Three men, Ney a French Marshal, Wilson, an English General & Bruce a young dissolute Etonian are the heroes. Their lives crisscross all over Europe following Napoleon’s coronation. Based on true events, a new take on the period where Napoleon plays only a bit part. Meticulously researched. It all did happen!
