La sombra del águila is a novel by the Spanish author Arturo Pérez-Reverte, published in 1993. The story is based on a real event that occurred during the Russian campaign of 1812, where a battalion of Spanish prisoners forcibly enrolled in the French army attempts to desert. Emperor Napoleon, misinterpreting this movement as an act of heroism, orders a cavalry charge to their aid, which triggers unexpected consequences. This story offers a stark and biting vision of war and the human condition.
Periodista, ex reportero de guerra y novelista español, autor de la saga del capitán Alatriste y de novelas como La tabla de Flandes y El club Dumas.
