Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How England Saved Europe, Vol. 1 of 4: The Story of the Great War (1793-1815) And with that morning scene in a London street begins the drama of the greatest of English wars. England never sent braver soldiers to the field than the men who formed this tiny column on its march to Greenwich. As the long line swung into column for its march, there stretched unseen before its files a hundred fields of battle. The roll of its drums was to sound across half the world. The tramp of the disciplined feet ran forward through twenty years, till it deepens into the mighty tumult of Waterloo. Those three battalions, in. A word, head the great procession of. Gallant soldiers who, for the next twenty years, in strange lands and under strange skies, were to fight and die for the cause of England against the wild menace of Revolutionary France and the world-threatening despotism of Napoleon. And it is a curious fact that when, for the first time in this far-stretching war, Frenchmen and English men met in the actual shock of battle, these three particular battalions were the attacking party, and the fight took place at Vicogne, some ten miles from Waterloo, Where the long strife, more than twenty years afterwards, was to end! As a companion-piece to that scene in front of the Horse Guards in 1793, let another picture be drawn. On July 31, 1815, the Bellerophon is lying at Portsmouth, a stately line-of-battle ship, of the old, massive, bluff-bowed type. In its cabin are four persons. Two are British officers, Lord Keith and Sir. Henry Bunbury, a third is their secretary, the fourth is Napoleon, his sallow face furrowed with the passions of so many battlefields and the pride of so many years of empire. Waterloo is Six weeks past; the Empire has faded like a vision; the armies of France have perished. These British officers have come to tell Napoleon that St. Helena, a splintered rock set in the solitary wastes of the Atlantic, is henceforth to be his prison. Napoleon protests vehemently. St. Helena is hate ful to him' he would prefer, he says, death or Botany Bay. Remember, he cries, what I have been, and how I have stood among the sovereigns of Europe. I have made war upon you for twenty years, he tells this little group of Englishmen; but England, he urges, if the mightiest and most stubborn.

Book excerpt: Wellington remarked that Waterloo was “a damned nice thing,” meaning uncertain or finely balanced. He was right. For his part, Napoleon reckoned “the English are bad troops and this affair is nothing more that eating breakfast.” He was wrong—and this gripping and dramatic narrative history shows just how wrong.Fought on Sunday, June 18th, 1815, by some 220,000 men over rain-sodden ground in what is now Belgium, the Battle of Waterloo brought an end to twenty-three years of almost continual war between imperial France and her enemies. A decisive defeat for Napoleon and a hard-won victory for the Allied armies of the Duke of Wellington and the Prussians, led by the stalwart Marshal Blucher, it brought about the French emperor’s final exile to St. Helena and cleared the way for Britain to become the dominant military power in the world.The Napoleonic Wars are a source of endless fascination and this authoritative volume provides a wide and colorful window into this all-important climatic battle.
