A. Henty is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. This work vividly recounts the harrowing retreat of Napoleon's army from Moscow, depicted through the eyes of a central character, Sergeant Julian Wyatt, who embodies the spirit and challenges faced during this tumultuous time. Henty is known for his engaging storytelling that combines adventure with historical detail, making this novel likely to appeal to readers interested in both historical narratives and character-driven plots. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to the Wyatt brothers, Julian and Frank, following the death of their father, Colonel Wyatt.

The preface mentions the complexity and scale of the campaign against Russia, suggesting a historical backdrop of significant events. As Julian's character unfolds, we see tensions between responsibility and youthful exuberance, setting the stage for his eventual involvement in the historical events that will link back to the retreat from Moscow.
