Examining a battle that has become one of the most famous in
history, this definitive volume chronicles Napoleon's defeat by
British, Dutch, Belgian, and German forces on June 18, 1815, in
Waterloo, Belgium. Battles were then localized affairs: Waterloo
was fought on a piece of land approximately the size of Central
Park. For a good many of the men who fought there, in fact, war was
something of a sport--a feeling reinforced by the image of the Duke
of Richmond cheering on his sons in battle. There are few sporting
events, however, that end with 56,000 dead, dying, and wounded men
and at least 10,000 horses in a similar state. Nick Foulkes'
brilliantly realized portrait of the eve of battle brings a fresh
perspective to this turning point in European history.
