What's the right wing equivalent of War and Peace?

I find only liberal/left-leaning types to view this book as something Great as opposed to just good.

Stalingrad by Grossman is the book you should buy

I did. I found the "history from the bottom" bullshit pretty annoying, and something only liberal types would find fascinating. Hence why I made this thread.

What is liberal about it? Tolstoy rails against Napoleon, the man who was waging war to spread democracy

He rails against Napoleon because "Wah, there are no great men!" He rails against pretty much every non-fictional character, even Kutuzov until that last chapter with him at the end. His issues with Napoleon have nothing to do with "muh democracy"

How is it “history from the bottom” when it is told through the eyes of the aristocracy?

>> No.20911495

You're clearly not familiar with the concept. I'm not talking about the narrative part of the story, but when Tolstoy starts philosophizing and his personal views of things and history start coming on.

Gotcha. It’s still weird to base your opinion of a book around what a certain subgroup thinks

>certain subgroup thinks
Tolstoy, the guy who wrote the book, is part of that group. You have the reading comprehension of a potato.

Why do you insist on compulsively cramming everything into a "left"/"right" box?
