"Swanston’s novel is thoroughly readable. Its flow carries the reader along. He has caught the period atmosphere well, and his characterisation is well-rounded, using simple idiom."
Historical Novels Review
"*BOOK OF THE MONTH* Andrew's account of one of the skirmishes of the Battle of Waterloo is intense and hugely enjoyable.

Product Description:
June, 1815. The Coldstream Guards and the third guards are waiting impatiently for orders to move into battle against Napoleon and his French army. Every day seems endless as the troops wait for Wellington's orders. When word is finally received, the path to glory it is not quite what the troops were hoping for. Hours of marching during the day are followed by restless nights' sleep in the rain, dampening their spirits and weakening morale. When the group eventually encounter the French in battle, a special command comes from Wellington himself to Colonel James Macdonell of the Coldstream Guards: hold the chateau at Hougoumont and do not let the French pass. What happens next is history.
