Book 15 RECAP

Highlights:

1. Petya's death: young, blind bravery is killed off-- innocence is killed
2. The fall of the French army: the once strong have fallen (whose fault is it, the people or the commanders or fate itself? How has history been re-written)?
3. Pierre's change of attitude-- once cynical and shy, now an intelligent and speculative man
4. Pierre and Natasha's love for each other-- a suppressed love now blossoms. Each had grown after facing death and the war.
