Synopsis

The Battle of Waterloo commenced when the first shots were fired on a Sunday morning in June 1815. By the evening, 40,000 men and 10,000 horses lay dead or wounded among the Belgian cornfields and Napoleon had fled. This book provides an account of that day.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

David Howarth, who died in 1991, was one of Britain's best writers of historical events. He himself had worked as war correspondent for the BBC in the Second World War, reporting the chaos of Dunkirk, but with the fall of France he joined the Navy and then came under the command of the SOE (Special Operating Service) running clandestine operations between Shetland and Norway. For this he was awarded the highest honours that Norway could award a foreigner. His own naval experiences in wartime and those in peacetime as an experienced sailor and boatmaker in Shetland, allow him to write with great understanding
