The consequences of Napoleon8217smost famous
defeat are explored in this 8220hihly readable,
richly anecdotal retelling of the
battle8217sdevastating results8221(Kirkus).
In the early morning hours of June 19, 1815, more
than 50,000 men and 7,000 horses lay dead and
wounded on a battlefield just south of Brussels.
In the hours, days, weeks, and months that
followed, news of the battle would begin to shape
the consciousness of an age the battlegrounds
would be looted and cleared, its dead buried or
burned, its ground and ruins overrun by tourists
the victorious British and Prussian armies would
invade France and occupy Paris. And for Napoleon,
there was no avenue ahead but surrender, exile
and captivity. In this dramatic account of the
aftermath of the Battle of Waterloo, Paul
O'Keeffe employs a multiplicity of contemporary
sources and viewpoints to create a reading
experience that brings into focus as never before
the sights, sounds, and smells of the
battlefield, of conquest and defeat, of
celebration and riot.
