The Waterloo Companion: The Complete Guide to History’s Most Famous Land Battle

 
The text, based upon extensive research, describes both the battle and the campaign that preceded it in detail, drawing upon the firsthand accounts of participants on all sides. This book can become a collector's item due to the many full colour maps, all specially commissioned for the book, and the numerous diagrams and photographs, the majority in colour, as well as sixteen pages of original paintings.
