Download or read book Waterloo written by Bernard Cornwell and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2015-05-05 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.
Book Synopsis Napoleon Victorious! by : Peter G Tsouras
Download or read book Napoleon Victorious! written by Peter G Tsouras and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2017-09-30 with total page 258 pages. 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 Synopsis The Longest Afternoon by : Brendan Simms
Download or read book The Longest Afternoon written by Brendan Simms and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2015-02-10 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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 Synopsis Notes on the Battle of Waterloo [Illustrated Edition] by : General Sir James Shaw Kennedy, K.C.B.
Download or read book Notes on the Battle of Waterloo [Illustrated Edition] written by General Sir James Shaw Kennedy, K.C.B. and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2012-05-01 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Waterloo Illustration Pack – 14 maps/battle plans, 18 portraits of the personalities engaged, 10 illustrations. Captain James Kennedy, as he then was, served with distinction throughout the Peninsula War under both Sir John Moore and the Duke of Wellington as a regimental officer, on the staff, and as aide-de-camp of “Black Bob” Craufurd of the famed Light Division. During the Waterloo campaign, he was on the staff of the Third Division and was heavily involved in the fighting. After many further years of service in the British Army, he sat down to record his own recollections of the events that ended Napoleon’s brief second reign as Emperor of France. His wealth of experience of war and campaigning provided him with an admirable viewpoint to discuss the actual detail of the conflict of June 1815; in this, he gave free reign to what he knew to be true and to what he had seen of the fighting. General Kennedy did not, as some of his contemporaries in the British Army did, believe that the Duke of Wellington’s performance was flawless; his reasoned, intricate and balanced narrative is both instructive and entertaining. This work is authoritative, unbiased, and widely read today. Author — General Sir James Shaw Kennedy, K.C.B. (1788-1865) We have added our Waterloo Illustration pack to ensure that the reader can follow the text.
