Dust jacket complete except price clipped, small chunk missing from front. Original cloth boards with bright black titling on spine. Previous owner's book plate on f. paste down. 96 pages clean and tight. The story of Napoleon's escape from Elba, his perilous journey through France and final bid for European domination at Waterloo, is one of the most dramatic of all time.

Patrick Pringle tells the story with fairness to both sides, showing how both took great risks and at times made appalling blunders. He also stresses the difficulty of arriving at a true account of exactly how Waterloo was fought owing to the endless, conflicting stories put out by Napoleon and others who took part in the battle. Size: 8vo.…
