Description
On 18 June 1815, the armies of France, Britain and Prussia clashed in a quiet valley south of Brussels, marking a turning point in European history. This is the story of the four days leading up to the battle, and the thrilling hour-by-hour account of that fateful day.
Historian and novelist Bernard Cornwell brings his storytelling skills to bear on this meticulously researched history, shedding new light on the private thoughts of Napoleon and the Duke of Wellington, as well as the ordinary officers and soldiers. From Napoleon's escape from Elba to the smoke and gore of the battlefields, every dramatic moment is recounted in vivid detail.
Published to coincide with the bicentenary in 2015, Waterloo is a tense and gripping story of heroism and tragedy, and the final battle that determined the fate of Europe.
