June 18, 1815 — the fields outside a quiet Belgian village erupted into one of the most decisive and brutal battles in history.

The Battle of Waterloo wasn’t just the end of Napoleon’s reign—it was the moment Europe held its breath. Thunderous cannon fire, desperate cavalry charges, smoke-choked skies, and rain-soaked trenches set the stage for a final clash between destiny and downfall. On one side, the legendary Napoleon Bonaparte. On the other, the iron resolve of the Duke of Wellington and the relentless force of Blücher’s Prussians.

What unfolded that day would change the course of Europe forever.

In this gripping episode, Keith dives into the chaos and courage of Waterloo—reading firsthand accounts from the soldiers who lived through it, and joined by special guest Dr. Zac White, one of the world’s leading experts on the Napoleonic Wars.

Prepare for strategy, blood, betrayal, and heroism—this is Waterloo as you’ve never heard it before.
