...trying to build up Humphrey. He has let us liberals down; we won't forget it. He has sold out to expediency, tossed away his birthright for a mess of Administration pottage, even spews out the Viet Nam lump with a smile...
Warner, as Morgan, catches every kink and twitch of a natural misfit who can only sense progress when he is swimming against the stream. In his world of fantasy, he is brutal, primitive. To the world at large, he looks rather more like an adolescent giraffe perpetually swallowing the lump in his throat.

Though this book is burdened by a poor English translation, French Novelist-Historian Claude Manceron succeeds in providing a meticulously documented account of the 1805 campaign. And his hour-by-hour reconstruction of Austerlitz, Napoleon's most brilliant military success, presents...
