Review
Gripping... A superb addition to an overscuffed genre * Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review) * Lively and entertaining... Even for those well-acquainted with Waterloo, this text is an enjoyable contribution to the extensive literature * Soldier * A hugely enjoyable, illuminating and very gory read * Catholic Herald * A brisk, no-nonsense, soldierly account, which is packed with facts... Superb -- Nigel Jones * Literary Review * A vigorous, lucid, well-organised and entertaining account of the Waterloo campaign and the armies that fought it. -- David Crane * Spectator *
