Napoleonic Wars Final Campaign at Waterloo

This unabridged narrative history follows Napoleon's last gamble from his escape from Elba through Ligny, Quatre Bras and the long Sunday at Waterloo. Napoleon, Wellington and Blücher make their decisions in headquarters and farmhouses. A British rifleman, a veteran of the Imperial Guard and a young Prussian conscript live with the consequences in the mud and smoke. Families around Brussels wait for news. The geography is built into the storytelling, so you always know where you are on the field. A companion map PDF and a cast list are there if you want them.

By the final chapter you will understand how the campaign was won and lost, and you will remember the faces behind it. Press play and walk the road to Waterloo with them.
