A la altura de 1810, Wellington y Napoleón se encontraban en la cumbre de su fama y eran ya sin duda los militares más prestigiosos de su tiempo. La guerra de Independencia española convirtió a Wellington en poco menos que un héroe nacional en su país, pero él sabía bien que la verdadera prueba de fuego sería un enfrentamiento estratégico que deseaba tanto como temía: una batalla contra trpas comandadas por Napoleón.
Por su parte, las legiones francesas estaban por entonces empeñadas en una de las campañas más duras que emprendieron, en los inhóspitos campos de Rusia, a punto para batirse en la mayor batalla nunca hasta entonces librada en Europa, la de Leipzig.
Sin embargo, el momento en que Napoleón y Wellington se verán las caras se acerca, y promete convertirse en un gran acontecimiento histórico, Waterloo.

I had not read the first three of this series but I will. An excellent, heavily researched, historical fiction account of Napoleon and Wellington's battles culminating in the Battle of Waterloo and Boney's defeat. Simon Scarrow is a great story teller and the story skips along. Very enjoyable indeed. (

Not many books of mine get five stars - if there were six then this book might well deserve it. It is the best book I've read on the Wellington vs, Napoleon war. So well written that it's very easy to read what could have become quite a dry subject. I now have a much more complete understanding of the subject.
More strength to your pen, Mr. Scarrow! May you write many more such fascinating books! (

The first three books in this series were great, fast paced and gripping. The fourth and final book was a little hard going and after 100's of pages of preamble, Waterloo (battle of) was disappointing and only briefly covered. Simon Scarrow is a truly great historical fiction writer and this series is a must-read for any Scarrow fans. (
