About This Book

The narrative, set in the Rákóczi-era conflict, follows a partisan leader coping with demoralized, ragged troops, hunger, and rampant foraging as a disorderly retreat unfolds. He attempts to impose order and to meet approaching enemy detachments, improvising alliances with irregular fighters whose timely arrival affects local engagements. Episodes alternate between chaotic skirmishes in villages and forests, tactical impulses and misgivings among comrades, and wry observations of soldiery, depicting the strained balance between leadership, opportunistic courage, and the brittle morale that determines wartime fortunes.
