So I finished the Battle of Austerlitz. I loved the preceding moments. The high confidence and arrogance of the Austrians and Russians. Tolstoy nailed it. I love that they use some historical authenticity while taking fictional liberties in some events (For example, General Mack didn't escape Napoleon's capture of his army). I found myself grinning when Napoleon began to retreat to feign weakness, as he did historically.

One wonders if War and Peace would have been as highly acclaimed as it was had it been published under its original title "War: What is it good for?"
