Through Russian Snows: A Story of Napoleon's Retreat From Moscow

Description: This book tells the exciting tale of two brothers in the time of the Napoleonic Wars, when the British faced off against the French across Europe’s battlefields and the high seas. While stationed in Russia, close to where Napoleon's army had encamped previously, they hear tales of the horrifying suffering endured by those troops during their catastrophic invasion of the country. Woven into this historical backdrop is an absorbing coming-of-age story that explores the struggle between duty and personal ambition and the challenges faced by young men trying to find their place in the world. The brothers couldn’t be more different, with one bound for military service and the other content with a life of leisure. Both must come to terms with their own strengths and shortcomings, however, when they find themselves caught up in a dangerous smuggling operation. The story explores the themes of honor, responsibility, and the sacrifices that must sometimes be made to protect those we love.
