Aggiungere al carrelloHardback. A near Run Thing. Wear and tear to edge of D/J. A great many books have been written about the Battle of Waterloo. But none quite like this; the reader can feel the shock of battle almost as if he were there. The first shots were fired at about eleven-thirty on a Sunday morning in June 1815. By nine o' clock that night, forty thousand men and ten thousand horses lay dead or wounded among the Belgian cornfields, and Napoleon had fled, abandoning his army and all hope of recovering his empire - and also, it was said, two million pounds worht of diamonds sewn into the lining of his uniform. This is the story of the men who were there. From their recollections, the author has recreated the battle as it appeared to them on the day it was fought - what they saw and heard, the little that they knew of what was ahppening, abd above all what they felt. The author followes the fortunes of men of all ranks on both sides - and some women too. The author has used his scrupulous technique to put together the stories of many people who were there and to make a far more clear and comprehensive account of the battle than any one of them could have given at the time. Here, both in the narrative and the unprecendented collection of sketches, paintings and drawings, are the heat and the noice, the fear and elation, the pain and sustaining hope of glory which were every man's experience that day. Illustrated. 239 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
