Synopsis
There have been many books about Waterloo, but never one to rival
this in scale or authority. The text, based upon extensive research, describes both the
battle and the campaign that preceded it in detail, drawing upon the firsthand accounts
of participants on all sides in order to give the reader a vivid feeling for the experiences
of those who fought upon this most celebrated of all battlefields. The many full color
maps, all specially commissioned for the book, and the numerous diagrams and
photographs, the majority in color, as well as sixteen pages of original paintings, make
the book a feast for the eyes and a collector's dream.
