Prince Nesvitsky
BOOK 1 PART 2 CHAPTER 6 The view from above A short chapter, full of chilling contrast. Prince Nesvitsky and other officers are up on a hill, as down below, troops file over the bridge across the River Enns. The whole army is falling back towards Vienna as the French advance. The officers eat pies, admire the view and joke about rape and pillage. The first shots in this story are fired and, appropriately enough, fall short of their target.
