| Summary | "The Great White Army" by Max Pemberton is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set during the tumultuous period of Napoleon's invasion of Russia in 1812, focusing on the experiences of Surgeon-Major Constant, a veteran who survives the harrowing retreat from Moscow. The novel explores themes of war, mortality, and human resilience, centering on Constant and his young nephew Léon as they navigate the chaos of an enemy-occupied city. At the start of the book, the reader is introduced to Janil de Constant as he witnesses the spectacular yet ominous entry into Moscow, believing they have won a decisive victory. However, the initial celebration soon gives way to treachery and violence, as Constant finds himself embroiled in a dangerous situation involving a mysterious dead man and a lady named Valerie. During his attempts to escape, he discovers a sinister plot, confronts armed convicts, and seeks refuge with Valerie in a hidden chapel. The opening chapters set the stage for a gripping tale of survival amidst the backdrop of war, drawing readers in with its rich historical context and vivid characterizations.
