Christopher Hibbert was an acclaimed English author, historian and biographer. He has been called "probably the most widely-read popular historian of our time" and was the author of over fifty works of history.
The defining military engagement of the nineteenth century. The epic battle that forever ended one man's dreams of a European empire unified under his rule.
This epoch-defining conflict would ultimately be remembered for the showdown between two of history's most legendary commanders: the Duke of Wellington, and Napoleon Bonaparte.
Divided into three parts, Christopher Hibbert masterfully depicts first Napoleon and his rise to power, then a portrait of Wellington and the allied armies, and lastly the steps leading up to and the battle itself, the final clash on the fields of Waterloo.
A gripping, succinct and panoramic survey of this legendary battle, the history surrounding the conflict, and the personalities that defined both the battle itself, and a generation.
