Four days in June, 1815. Three armies on the fields of Waterloo. A battle for honour, glory, civilisation. And two great leaders, Napoleon and Wellington, fighting directly for the first time to take their nations to victory. As the battle develops it is seen through the very different positions and characters of the front men. Colonel De Lancey, Wellington’s new Quartermaster-General, recently married and yearning for his beautiful wife; Colonel MacDonnell, a Scot who must hold his post to the last man; General Ziethen of the Prussian army, distrustful of the British but vital to their cause; Marshal Ney, mistrusted by Napoleon but revered by the French soldiers; and Napoleon, who must prove his worth as a great warrior for the glory of France. Wars are won by the men who lead them. This is the story of those men’s strengths, their courage, their thoughts and their fears from the eve of battle to its bloody conclusion.
