Waterloo Battlefield Guide

 
From the publishers:
 
Waterloo is among the most famous battles ever fought – the defeat of Napoleon's French army by The Combined forces of Wellington and Blücher on 18 June 1815 was a turning point in world history and the outcome at Waterloo had a major influence on the shape of Europe for the next century and beyond. As the bicentenary of this monumental event approaches, interest in the clash between Emperor Napoleon I and the Duke of Wellington has never been greater. The battle was a milestone, and it cannot be fully understood without a detailed, on-the-ground study of the landscape in which it was fought. This is the purpose of David Buttery's essential new battlefield guide.
 
In vivid detail, using eyewitness accounts and an intimate knowledge of the terrain, Buttery takes the reader on a journey across the battleground as it is today. The book focuses on the pivotal episodes in the fighting and also examines the famous personalities and armies involved, giving an in-depth account that brings to life the events of almost two-hundred years ago.
