Overview

Featuring illustrations throughout, a full account of one of the most famous battles that ever occurred. Waterloo holds a special place among the great battles of history. The climax of more than twenty years of war, it was indeed a close-run affair, matching two of the world's greatest generals, Napoleon and Wellington. This volume covers the entire campaign including the battles of Quatre Bras, Ligny and Wavre, with five full-colour maps and three highly detailed bird's eye views showing decisive moments in the action. An excellent sense of the closeness of the battle is communicated - Wellington himself claimed it was ""the nearest thing you ever saw in your life"" - and this gripping account shows the full justice of that statement.
