Waterloo: Napoleon, Wellington, And The Battle That Changed Europe
Napoleon Bonaparte and Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington, were both born in the same year, one in occupied Corsica and the other as a member of the Protestant Ascendency in Ireland. Though they had very different childhoods, the frustrations they encountered at school shaped the ways in which they approached difficulty. Both would go on to illustrious military careers, with Wellesley making a name for himself in the British colony of India and Napoleon becoming the emperor of France. Britain and France had been experiencing conflict for some time before the start of Napoleon’s rule, but now everything came to a head. The Napoleonic Wars brought Wellesley and Napoleon into conflict with each other, and eventually, they collided during the Waterloo Campaign. This campaign culminated in the Battle of Waterloo, which would come to be regarded as one of the bloodiest—but also one of the most important—battles in history.After Napoleon’s defeat at the Battle of Waterloo, he went into exile on a remote island in the middle of the Atlantic. Wellesley returned home and involved himself in the British government, helping to shape a Europe that had already been made new by the force of Napoleon’s legacy

Waterloo, by Jack Steinberg is an easy read from start to end. Its initial separation, explanatory of its characters,reminds me the structure of Game of Thrones, a fictional story. However, Waterloo is not fiction, but a historical document of the thoughts, actions and finality of a series of events that we could devote more attention to, from the late eighteenth to the early nineteenth centuries, as it changed the world more profoundly than anyone could imagine. I recommend it and will re-read it to get more of History. I loved it!
The Best Book that talks about the Battle of Waterloo.This is an Awesome Book about the battle that happened in Waterloo.Actually, Jack Steinberg has not only included the exact battle in Waterloo, but he greatly included the Biographies about Napoleon and Wellington, and the battles before the Waterloo started and many more.Actually, I've learned lots of values from this book.. especially from the experiences of Napoleon and Wellington, that I can also apply in my own life.. One thing I've learned from Napoleon is to become swift and fast in making a decisive action.I've also learned about being Strategic and Well-Planned in everything that we do.. like the battles that happened in the story.. We need to consider everything especially what the enemies are thinking about to make a strategic and effective action.I could say, that this is like a game of chess.. you need to become aware, focused, and strategic in every move. :)Overall, this book is very well-written and easily read. The author would really bring you to the battles that happened 2 Centuries ago, as if you're watching a real movie.With that, I would give Jack Steinberg and Waterloo a Very Spectacular Amazing 5-Star.
I have acknowledged many information of history from this book. Really, i did not know more about Napoleon,Welleslry and also about Waterloo. Waterloo is regarded as one of the bloodiest but also one of the most important battles in history. The Napoleonic Wars brought Wellesley and Napoleon into conflict with each other, and eventually, they collided during the Waterloo Campaign.The book is so informative. The battle that has changed Europe was fully unknown to me. If you want to know about it,i will suggest for you this book.As only this book can enriched your brain with many information of that history.
The story of Waterloo discusses the war that led to restructure of mainland Europe and Britain's dominance. It talks about the downfall of the reign of Napoleon and his vanity and huge alter ego. I love that the book discusses everything in great detail and that it really goes to the small details which makes me relive it in my mind. It is a great history lesson and I really appreciated everything I learned.
Waterloo: Napoleon is a unique book which tells you a story that happened a long time ago. It might seem boring at first but NO. This book has a really amazing twist on it and takes you to a different time where classical people and their unique set of characters will greatly awe you. The book contains a lot of backstory to each and everything you'll recognize as you read this story. I like the way it was written, the style of how the author tells the story, and everything that comes along with this book!
About the battle at Waterloo and the end of Napoleon's reign. Details of the biographies of both Napoleon and Wellington. Easy to understand details like painting a picture in your head about the events taking place. If you are not familiar with these two figures in the battle, you will have a good sense by the end.
A good, bare bones factual history of Napoleon and Wellington and the final battle at Waterloo.. it is a good introduction into the complexities of battle and personalities of the main characters. Educational, well done.
The Battle of Waterloo is one of the most significant events in European history, it marked the defeat of Napoleon Bonaparte and the collapse of his empire. This book told the tale of how things went during the time of the battle that lead to the defeat of one of the greatest leaders in history. As an avid fan of history, I was still fascinated by how the events aligned to bring down such a great leader. The author managed to portray the facts well and eloquently. This was quite informative!
