Waterloo was the climax of almost twenty years of war in Europe. It
dramatically ended Napoleon's dream of a lasting empire. Through
the skillful use of original source material, noted historian
Hibbert recreates the events and drama surrounding the famous
battle. Hibbert discusses Napoleon and his rise to power, examines
Wellington and the allied armies, and gives a step-by-step
reconstruction of the battle and its aftermath. Waterloo includes
vignettes depicting: Napoleon as a young boy in Corsica unable to
delegate responsibility to others; Wellington and the Prussian
army; and Napoleon's efforts to create and promote his personal
legend even while incarcerated on the island of St. Helena.
