{"product_id":"waterloo-bernard-cornwell","title":"Waterloo — Bernard Cornwell","description":"\u003cp\u003eCornwell reconstructs the battle of Waterloo hour by hour, drawing on the accounts of participants on all three sides — British, French, and Prussian — to give a sense of the chaos, contingency, and violence of the engagement that ended Napoleon's career. The book is written with the narrative skill of a novelist who has spent decades writing historical fiction about the period, and it recovers the experience of battle — the noise, the smoke, the panic, the heroism, the mechanical slaughter — rather than simply its outcome. A book about what it was actually like.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"epoch-endorsement\"\u003e'Bernard Cornwell is at the height of his powers in this magnificent account of Waterloo.
