The Battle of Waterloo Experience

About this book

After Napoleons defeat and exile on Elba in 1814 it looked as if his extraordinary military career had come to an end. But then the Emperor escaped and made a last stand which climaxed on June 18 1815 when almost 200 000 Prussian British and French soldiers clashed at Waterloo. Published to mark the 200th anniversary The Battle of Waterloo Experience is a compelling new treatment of the Hundred Days campaign beautifully illustrated and including reproductions of contemporary letters and documents that graphically portray the background to Napoleons final overthrow.
