A NEAR RUN THING
by David Howarth

David Howarth's outstanding account of the battle of Waterloo in 1815. The first shots were fired at about eleven-thirty on a Sunday morning in June, 1815 and by nine o'clock that night, forty thousand men lay dead or wounded, and Napoleon had abandoned not only his army, but all hope of recovering his empire. From the recollections of the men who were there, esteemed author David Howarth has recreated the battle as it appeared to them on the day it was fought.
