book cover Information:

Rites of Peace: The Fall of Napoleon and the Congress of Vienna, by Adam Zamoyski.
From Wellington City Libraries.

To be honest, I never finished this book. I really loved (if that’s the right word) Zamoyski’s harrowing account of the retreat from Moscow in his earlier book 1812: Napoleon’s Fatal March on Moscow, but this one, although brightly written, was a lot harder going. I might try it again in a few months.

The Footer

My name is Alan Macdougall, and this is my website. There's more about me here, if you really want to get carried away about it.

On the other hand, there's a whole lot of my favourite recent links of interest, photos I've taken, and other stuff over on the Elsewhere page, and there's always the site archives over in Bygones for additional excitement.

But probably you just want to find something specific (why else would you scroll all the way to the bottom of the page, right?), so here's the search box instead.
