MP3 Audio CD. The Point of Honor I Napoleon the First, whose career had the quality of a duel against the whole of Europe, disliked duelling between the officers of his army. The great military emperor was not a swashbuckler, and had little respect for tradition. Nevertheless, a story of duelling which became a legend in the army runs through the epic of imperial wars.

Only a single time do D?Hubert and Ferraud postpone their constant fight, when they are forced to work together against the common enemy in the Russian campaign.Conrad?s work paints an extremely vivid picture of the world as it was in the early 19th… Read More
