Editorial Reviews:
Returning from Waterloo, the Duke of Wellington described his tortuous victory as "the nearest-run thing you ever saw in your life". Waterloo provided a breathtaking coda to the resurgent Napoleonic Empire and heralded the onset of British hegemony. Moreover, the battle remains a testament to the speed and chance with which history unfolds - Wellington, attending a royal ball when he learned of Napoleons advance, may well have lost had the Prussian military not shown up at the last possible minute to assist his beleaguered army reserves. This retrospective delivers primary-source reenactments from a star-studded cast. Nigel Lambert oversees the proceedings with silky-tongued eloquence. Michael Sheard imbues the French emperor with relentless confidence, while Michael Burrell brims with "by Jove!" incredulity as the defiant Wellington.
