'A fabulous story, superbly told' Max Hastings The bloodbath at Waterloo ended a war that had engulfed the world for over twenty years. It also finished the career of the charismatic Napoleon Bonaparte. It ensured the final liberation of Germany and the restoration of the old European monarchies, and it represented one of very few defeats for the glorious French army, most of whose soldiers remained devoted to their Emperor until the very end. Extraordinary though it may seem much about the Battle of Waterloo has remained uncertain, with many major features of the campaign hotly debated. Most histories have depended heavily on the evidence of British officers that were gathered about twenty years after the battle. But the recent publication of an abundance of fresh first-hand accounts from soldiers of all the participating armies has illuminated important episodes and enabled radical reappraisal of the course of the campaign. What emerges is a darker, muddier story, no longer biased by notions of regimental honour, but a tapestry of irony, accident, courage, horror and human frailty. An epic page turner, rich in dramatic human detail and grounded in first-class scholarly research, Waterloo is the real inside story of the greatest land battle in British history, the defining showdown of the age of muskets, bayonets, cavalry and cannon.

La 4e de couverture indique : " Tous les jours, des centaines de visiteurs originaires des quatre coins du monde viennent découvrir Waterloo. La gloire du vaincu a-t-elle éclipsé la renommée des vainqueurs ? Ou est-ce simplement le sentiment intuitif que la bataille du 18 juin 1815 marqua la fin d'une époque et le début d'une ère nouvelle dans l'histoire européenne ? En plus d'une critique impartiale de la campagne de 1815 et d'une description des méthodes de guerre de l'époque, ce livre replace la bataille dans un contexte international, montre la place de Waterloo dans la littérature et la peinture et souligne son importance comme lieu de mémoire et comme symbole politique."

«Oggi il campo di battaglia di Waterloo ha la calma propria della terra, impassibile supporto dell'uomo, uguale in tutte le pianure. Tuttavia, di notte, si sprigiona da esso una specie di nebbia piena di visioni e, se qualche viaggiatore vi transita e guarda e ascolta, se sogna come Virgilio davanti alle funeste pianure di Filippi, lo coglie l'allucinazione della catastrofe. Rivive lo spaventoso 18 giugno; la falsa collina monumento si cancella, quel leone si dissipa e il campo di battaglia riprende la sua realtà; ondeggiano nella pianura le schiere di fanteria, furiose galoppate attraversano l'orizzonte; il sognatore sgomento vede il lampo delle sciabole, lo scintillio delle baionette, il fiammeggiar delle bombe, il mostruoso incrociarsi dei tuoni; sente, simile a un rantolo in fondo a una tomba, il vago clamore della battaglia fantasma. Quelle ombre sono i granatieri; quei baleni sono i corazzieri; questo scheletro è Napoleone; quello, è Wellington. Tutto ciò non è più, eppure s'urta e combatte ancora; e i precipizî s'imporporano, fremono gli alberi, il furore sale fino alle nubi e, nelle tenebre, tutte quelle selvagge alture […] appaiono confusamente coronate da turbini di spettri che si sterminano».
