Book excerpt: From the prizewinning author of Europe, a riveting account of the heroic Second Light Battalion, which held the line at Waterloo, defeating Napoleon and changing the course of history. In 1815, the deposed emperor Napoleon returned to France and threatened the already devastated and exhausted continent with yet another war. Near the small Belgian municipality of Waterloo, two large, hastily mobilized armies faced each other to decide the future of Europe-Napoleon's forces on one side, and the Duke of Wellington on the other. With so much at stake, neither commander could have predicted that the battle would be decided by the Second Light Battalion, King's German Legion, which was given the deceptively simple task of defending the Haye Sainte farmhouse, a crucial crossroads on the way to Brussels. In The Longest Afternoon, Brendan Simms captures the chaos of Waterloo in a minute-by-minute account that reveals how these 400-odd riflemen successfully beat back wave after wave of French infantry. The battalion suffered terrible casualties, but their fighting spirit and refusal to retreat ultimately decided the most influential battle in European history.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Since Waterloo: A Short History of Europe and of the British Empire, 1815 1919 Diagrams. - The diagrams are intended to explain themselves, and to suggest the idea of making other diagrams, from the facts and events given in the book. A diagram is useful when it brings out clearly, to be seen at a glance, facts that in words form a rather confused mass; or when it shows a real connection between things usually kept apart; or when it sets out what is already known in a more striking way. But also, a diagram may be misleading. It may show sharp divisions where there are really rather gradual changes; or it may give the wrong idea that whatever is left out of the diagram is of no importance. Wherever time or size is important a diagram should be drawn to scale. The Frontispiece (Diagram I.) has a short story of its own. A boy of 14 1/2 years, who for about eight months had been taking in class the history of Europe since 1815, was set this task: "You stand now in 1918. Look back to 1815 along the history of each European country, mark out the great changes, note which of them are common to most countries, and map the results in a diagram of some kind. Use lines, curves, shading, colour, or what method you please." His drawing, corrected, and changed from 1918 to 1920, forms the Frontispiece.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is June 1815 and an Anglo-led Allied army under the Duke of Wellington’s command and Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher is set to face Napoleon Boneparte near Waterloo in present-day Belgium. What happens next is well known to any student of history: the two armies of the Seventh Coalition defeated Bonaparte in a battle that resulted in the end of his reign and of the First French Empire. But the outcome could have been very different, as Peter Tsouras demonstrates in this thought-provoking and highly readable alternate history of the fateful battle. By introducing minor – but realistic – adjustments, Tsouras presents a scenario in which the course of the battle runs quite differently, which in turn sets in motion new and unexpected possibilities. Cleverly conceived and expertly executed, this is alternate history at its best.

Book excerpt: #1 Bestseller in the U.K. From the New York Times bestselling author and master of martial fiction comes the definitive, illustrated history of one of the greatest battles ever fought—a riveting nonfiction chronicle published to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Napoleon’s last stand. On June 18, 1815 the armies of France, Britain and Prussia descended upon a quiet valley south of Brussels. In the previous three days, the French army had beaten the Prussians at Ligny and fought the British to a standstill at Quatre-Bras. The Allies were in retreat. The little village north of where they turned to fight the French army was called Waterloo. The blood-soaked battle to which it gave its name would become a landmark in European history. In his first work of nonfiction, Bernard Cornwell combines his storytelling skills with a meticulously researched history to give a riveting chronicle of every dramatic moment, from Napoleon’s daring escape from Elba to the smoke and gore of the three battlefields and their aftermath. Through quotes from the letters and diaries of Emperor Napoleon, the Duke of Wellington, and the ordinary officers and soldiers, he brings to life how it actually felt to fight those famous battles—as well as the moments of amazing bravery on both sides that left the actual outcome hanging in the balance until the bitter end. Published to coincide with the battle’s bicentennial in 2015, Waterloo is a tense and gripping story of heroism and tragedy—and of the final battle that determined the fate of nineteenth-century Europe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The battle of Ligny saw the Prussians pushed back by the French Army in what was to be Napoleon's last battlefield victory. This title represents the second instalment of the captivating study of the Waterloo campaign, one of the defining events in European history. In particular it focuses on the desperate struggle for Ligny. With Wellington unable to assist his Prussian allies in time, the Prussian centre was overwhelmed as night began to fall, although the flanks were able to retreat in some semblance of order. Stunning illustrations augment the drama of the fighting in this area while considerable research drawn from previously unpublished first-hand accounts provide a detailed and engaging resource for all aspects of the battle.

This book was released on 2017-12-27 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Waterloo A short history of Waterloo was issued by P. H. Bolger in is97, and after the Home Coming in 1905, a more compre hensive one was written by Mr. And Mrs. J. A. Sheridan and published in the Waterloo Democrat. We are very largely indebted to those two sources for our material, copying much of the text just as it was written, thereby preserving the facts and incidents which they took so much pains and trouble to get together. We thank them for their work, and to all others, who helped us in any way, we are very grateful. A brief sketch of the history of the town of Waterloo is first given because the town and village were one until I850. The pleasures of life are not all of the present and future. Much enjoyment comes from the ability to see, and hear, and know of the days and their events, long gone by. Knowing this, we ask all who are interested in Waterloo and its history.

Download or read book Waterloo written by Paul O'Keeffe and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2017-01-24 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The consequences of Napoleon’s most famous defeat are explored in this “highly readable, richly anecdotal retelling of the battle’s devastating results” (Kirkus). In the early morning hours of June 19, 1815, more than 50,000 men and 7,000 horses lay dead and wounded on a battlefield just south of Brussels. In the hours, days, weeks, and months that followed, news of the battle would begin to shape the consciousness of an age; the battlegrounds would be looted and cleared, its dead buried or burned, its ground and ruins overrun by tourists; the victorious British and Prussian armies would invade France and occupy Paris. And for Napoleon, there was no avenue ahead but surrender, exile and captivity. In this dramatic account of the aftermath of the Battle of Waterloo, Paul O'Keeffe employs a multiplicity of contemporary sources and viewpoints to create a reading experience that brings into focus as never before the sights, sounds, and smells of the battlefield, of conquest and defeat, of celebration and riot.

Download or read book Waterloo 1815 (3) written by John Franklin and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-06-20 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Waterloo is one of the most famous battles in history. Using the latest research combined with detailed illustrations, this title tells the story of the dramatic events of 18 June and the eventual Allied victory. The name conjures up images of the terrible scale and grandeur of the Napoleonic Wars and the incredible combined effort that finally ended Napoleon's aspirations of power in Europe. Drawn from unpublished first-hand accounts, and using detailed illustrations, this comprehensive volume is the ideal resource for studying the intense fighting at the battles of Waterloo and Wavre, the final, decisive engagements of the Waterloo campaign. Those two battles are at the heart of this study, which explores the action at Mont St Jean where Wellington managed to hold the French at bay until the arrival of the Prussians under Blücher saw the Allies secure a hard-fought victory at the dramatic climax of the 'Hundred days'.
