Roland Days of Wrath

High in the treacherous passes between France and Spain in 778 A.D., Roland, captain of Charlemagne's conquering army, catapults his outnumbered flank of loyal vassals into a struggle so desperate and bloody that its dead -- and their deeds -- would be exalted for a thousand years in the most famous French medieval epic, the Song of Roland. Roland's bitter sacrifice, the apocalyptic battle-storm and Charlemagne's legendary grief, comes to life, as never before, in a graphic retelling that blends the beauty of oral poetry with the power of narrative art.
