About the Book

EDICIÓN ILUSTRADA CON MÁS DE 150 IMÁGENES INTERCALADAS EN EL TEXTO
El 18 de junio de 1815 tres ejércitos -Francia, Gran Bretaña y Prusia- descendían por un tranquilo valle cercano a Bruselas en dirección a un pequeño pueblo: Waterloo. Durante los tres días previos las tropas francesas habían vencido a los prusianos en Ligny y combatido contra los británicos en Quatre-Bras. Los aliados planeaban la retirada. Nadie esperaba que en Waterloo se fuese a librar la batalla más famosa, aquélla que había de marcar el destino de toda Europa.
En su primera obra de no ficción, Bernard Cornwell combina sus cualidades de narrador con una meticulosa documentación histórica para darnos un fascinante relato de cada momento dramático de la batalla.
Por primera vez, una de las batallas más famosas de la historia se narra desde la visión de los protagonistas, tanto generales como soldados, de los tres ejércitos, sin tomar partidos por ningún bando y dando una visión de lo que los movía, las ideas y sus circunstancias personales, incluyendo hasta cartas de los propios protagonistas.
Una edición profusamente ilustrada con más de 150 imágenes intercaladas por todo el texto que nos ayudan a comprender y visualizar la batalla.

On June 18, 1815, three armies - France, Great Britain and Prussia - descended through a quiet valley near Brussels in the direction of a small town: Waterloo. During the previous three days, French troops had defeated the Prussians at Ligny and fought the British at Quatre-Bras. The allies planned to retreat. No one expected that the most famous battle would be fought at Waterloo, the one that was to mark the fate of all of Europe. In his first nonfiction work, Bernard Cornwell combines his storytelling skills with meticulous historical documentation to give us a fascinating account of every dramatic moment of the battle.
About the Author: Bernard Cornwell was a British writer and he currently resides in the United States. His series dedicated to Richard Sharpe, which Edhasa has been publishing in Spain, has made him one of the most widely read and successful writers in the genre of the historical adventure novel, a condition that he highlighted with the trilogy formed by King's Archers, The Battle of the Grail, and The Siege of Calais or the tetralogy about Starbuck, set in the American Civil War, of which the first installments have been Rebelde and Copperhead.
