Waterloo by Andrew Roberts
The career of Napoleon Bonaparte was brought to a sudden end on June 18, 1815 at the Battle of Waterloo. For the first and only time, Napoleon came face-to-face with the Duke of Wellington and his Anglo-Allied armies. Thanks to poor weather, bad decisions and missed opportunities, the French Army was defeated and 22 continuous years of warfare were finally over.
Andrew Roberts recounts the tale of Waterloo in detail, examining the battle from political, strategic, and historical perspectives, and providing an in-depth timeline of that fateful day. Roberts also uncovers new evidence that may explain just why Napoleon made the fatal errors that cost him the battle, the war, and ultimately his throne. Andrew Roberts is the author of Napoleon & Wellington and Eminent Churchillians. His writing appears regularly in The Sunday Telegraph. He lives in London."Admirably researched and stylishly written." -- New York Times| SKU | Unavailable |
