The stories of quixotic Pierre, cynical Andrey, and impetuous Natasha interweave with a huge cast, from aristocrats and peasants, to soldiers and Napoleon himself. Terror swiftly engulfs the country as Napoleon's army marches on Russia, and the lives of three young people are changed forever. Petersburg in 1805, conversations are dominated by the prospect of war.
