Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book invites the reader to revisit a first-hand account of the Battle of Waterloo and its subsequent occupation of Paris, as seen through the eyes of the author on his grand tour of Europe. Having visited the battlefield only a month after the legendary clash, the author compiles impressions of the battle as told by the wounded, as well as the citizens who witnessed the preceding weeks of panic, fear, and outrage. His reflections offer a raw and unique perspective, one that captures, not only the scale of the conflict, but the very human toll exacted by war. It is essential reading for anyone interested in Napoleonic history and warfare from a profoundly human perspective.
