Waterloo


The Battle of Waterloo has become synonymous with the word “defeat” but who lost, and why was it important?
In 1815, Napoleon Bonaparte left the island of Elba, and in a space of 100 days took power, and challenged the entire world to meet him on his terms. When that failed, he offered them a fight, one that would end at Waterloo, and left repercussions which can still be felt, even now, centuries later.

Inside you will read about...


✓ Beginnings
✓ Discord and Discontent
✓ The World Rearranged
✓ The Prisoner
✓ The Journey to Waterloo Begins
✓ One Hundred Days
✓ Quatre Bras & Ligny
And much more!

Who was this man, and what happened on the battlefield that made this fight in particular, so important? What was the lesson of Waterloo?

4.0 out of 5 stars Gaining some understanding of the major battle that set a different direction for Europe .

I am one of those readers at all since his struggling for time, this book although not great in length gave me a very good insight as to what led to the battle of Waterloo. Napoleon certainly had a lot of self-belief in himself but like many people, in that situation, you can overstep the mark. It is interesting the effect that had on Europe and relationships since that time. Sadly it didn't stop two world wars that were to come. It did give the courage for some countries like the UK to stand up against an aggressor who was much superior at the time with their war machine.
Europe continues to have challenges, it appears to me it needs to find a better balance between identity and the people's culture within each country in the overall attempt to unify the countries through the EU. It has handed power over the bureaucrats who are not that accountable which is one of the weaknesses of its current parliamentary system in Brussels.

In spite of the suffering and the ugliness of all wars, this battle is one of the most watershed battles in humanking along with the battle of Cannae and the battle of Stalingrad. Very good book.

This short history gives a brief glimpse into a momentous turning point in history. I liked that the story was more strategic and political than tactical. The conclusions are a bit far reaching, but interesting.

I love to read and I love historical non-fiction and fiction...but I like to do other things too. So, when I saw that I could read a complete history of Waterloo in an hour, I jumped on it. I finally understand much more about Napoleon and the Battle at Waterloo than ever before. It skips the superfluous side stories, while remaining interesting and concise. Look forward to reading more hour-long history lessons.
