Waterloo by Christopher Hibbert

Waterloo by Christopher Hibbert

THE GREATEST OF BATTLESThe defining military engagement of the nineteenth century. The epic battle that forever ended one man's dreams of a European empire unified under his rule. THE GREATEST OF RIVALSThis epoch-defining conflict would ultimately be remembered for the showdown between two of history's most legendary commanders: the Duke of Wellington, and Napoleon Bonaparte. THE DEFINITIVE ACCOUNTDivided into three parts, Christopher Hibbert masterfully depicts first Napoleon and his rise to power, then a portrait of Wellington and the allied armies, and lastly the steps leading up to and the battle itself, the final clash on the fields of Waterloo. A gripping, succinct and panoramic survey of this legendary battle, the history surrounding the conflict, and the personalities that defined both the battle itself, and a generation.

Christopher Hibbert was an acclaimed English author, historian and biographer. He has been called “probably the most widely-read popular historian of our time” and was the author of over fifty works of history.
