    About this ebook

    The Battle of Waterloo has become synonymous with the word "defeat" but who lost, and why was it important? 
    In 1815, Napoleon Bonaparte left the island of Elba, and in a space of 100 days took power, and challenged the entire world to meet him on his terms. When that failed, he offered them a fight, one that would end at Waterloo, and left repercussions which can still be felt, even now, centuries later.

    Inside you will read about...
    ✓ Beginnings
    ✓ Discord and Discontent
    ✓ The World Rearranged
    ✓ The Prisoner
    ✓ The Journey to Waterloo Begins
    ✓ One Hundred Days
    ✓ Quatre Bras & Ligny
    And much more!

    Who was this man, and what happened on the battlefield that made this fight in particular, so important? What was the lesson of Waterloo?
