Napoleon and Waterloo Campaign Collection
WATERLOO
"The closest run thing you ever saw in your life" was the Duke of Wellington's own verdict on one of the great decisive battles in European history.
Each side lost over 20,000 soldiers, but was it a British or an Allied victory?
Did Wellington win it, or did Napoleon lose it?
"We left the place reluctantly, much better informed and most agreeably entertained. I cannot recommend the experience too highly"
Dr Colin Niven
ROUTE NAPOLEON
In 1815 Napoleon was a virtual prisoner in exile on the island of Elba.
But the former Emperor of France and conqueror of most of Europe assessed that the recently-restored French King had failed to win the support of the people. He decided to risk all to regain power.This account of a daring and arduous journey against all the odds reveals the character of the great man and takes the listener through wild and beautiful terrain. The story unfolds to the point when every Frenchman has to make a choice that could mean life or death.
This story, of the start of The Hundred Days, is the essential prequel to Waterloo
