In Russia's struggle with Napoleon, Tolstoy saw a tragedy that
involved all mankind. Greater than a historical chronicle, War and
Peace is an affirmation of life itself, `a complete picture', as a
contemporary reviewer put it, `of everything in which people find
their happiness and greatness, their grief and humiliation'. Tolstoy
gave his personal approval to this translation, published here in a
new single volume edition, which includes an introduction by Henry
Gifford, and Tolstoy's important essay `Some Words about War and
Peace'.
