From the internationally bestselling author of the Sharpe novels
- this is the true story of Waterloo. On the 18th June, 1815
...

` Some battles change nothing. Waterloo changed almost everything.` On the 18th June, 1815 the armies of France, Britain & Prussia descended upon a quiet valley south of Brussels. In the previous three days the French army had beaten the British at Quatre-Bras & the Prussians at Ligny. The Allies were in retreat. The blood-soaked battle of Waterloo would become a landmark in European history, to be examined over & again, not least because until the evening of the 18th, the French army was close to prevailing on the battlefield. Now, brought to life by the celebrated novelist Bernard Cornwell, this is the chronicle of the four days leading up to the actual battle & a thrilling hour-by-hour account of that fateful day. In his first work of non-fiction, Cornwell combines his storytelling skills with a meticulously researched history to give a riveting account of every dramatic moment, from Napoleon`s escape from Elba to the smoke & gore of the battlefields. Through letters & diaries he also sheds new light on the private thoughts of Napoleon & the Duke of Wellington, as well as the ordinary officers & soldiers. Published to coincide with the bicentenary in 2015, Waterloo is a tense & gripping story of heroism & tragedy
- & of the final battle that determined the fate of Europe.
