' One of the lancers rode by, & stabbed me in the back with his lance. I then turned, & lay with my face upward, & a foot soldier stabbed me with his sword as he walked by. Immediately after, another, with his firelock & bayonet, gave me a terrible plunge, & while doing it with all his might, exclaimed, Sacre nom de Dieu!' The truly epic & brutal battle of Waterloo was a pivotal moment in history
- a single day, one 24-hour period, defined the course of Europe's future. In March 1815, the Allies declared war on Napoleon in response to his escape from exile & the renewed threat to imperial European rule. Three months later, on 18 June 1815, having suffered considerable losses at Quatre-Bras, Wellington's army fell back on Waterloo, some ten miles south of Brussels. Halting on the ridge, they awaited Napoleon's army, blocking their entry to the capital. This would become the Allies' final st&, the infamous battle of Waterloo. In this intimate, hour-by-hour account, acclaimed military historian Robert Kershaw resurrects the human stories at the centre of the fighting, creating an authoritative single-volume biography of this landmark battle. Drawing on his profound insight & a field knowledge of military strategy, Kershaw takes the reader to where the impact of the orders was felt, straight into the heart of the battle, shoulder to shoulder with the soldiers on the mud-splattered ground. Masterfully weaving together painstakingly researched eyewitness accounts, diaries & letters
- many never before seen or published
- this gripping portrayal of Waterloo offers unparalleled authenticity. Extraordinary images of the men & women emerge in full colour; the voices of the sergeants, the exhausted foot-soldiers, the boy ensigns, the captains & the cavalry troopers, from both sides, rise from the page in vivid & telling detail, as the fate of Europe hangs by a thread.
