That’s Nick Lloyd’s new book, it’ll be making my best fiction of the year list. The review is very strong, and you can pre-order and wait, or order from the UK, or buy it from the excellent Hedengrens bookstore in Stockholm. Here’s one short one:
As usual with the Russian army, quarrels among the generals soon arose.
A little later:
This lack of cooperation among Russia’s top officials would seriously damage its performance throughout the war, preventing Russia from bringing its full force to bear and forcing its commanders to waste precious time bickering among themselves.
About one-third of the text of the book:
Tsar Nicholas II had reached an important decision: to take direct command of the Russian forces.
How did it start….how did it go…
