Waterloo: The History of Four Days, Three Armies, and Three Battles Free Audiobook Download by Bernard Cornwell

The Battle of Waterloo was a decisive victory for the British against Napoleon Bonaparte. It took place on June 18, 1815, though the result was not known until two days later when Napoleon's army retreated. The battle is thought to have been the culmination of a series of strategic military manoeuvres that began with Pitt's near-invasion of France in 1792 and culminated in Napoleon's series of victories leading up to Waterloo.

In 1815, Napoleon's army reached the borders of a country called Belgium. Napoleon's army consisted of mostly French people, but he also had some troops from other countries. On June 16, 1815, Napoleon attacked a small village in Belgium during the morning. That afternoon he found himself surrounded by British and Prussian soldiers at Waterloo. Bernard Cornwell, author of 'Waterloo: The History of Four Days, Three Armies, and Three Battles', uses multiple narrators to tell the story of this battle over four days.

Europe in the early modern era was a place of unrest and political turmoil. France, Britain, Prussia, Austria and Russia all had competing interests in the area and would often go to war with each other. One of these conflicts occurred at Waterloo on June 18th, 1815 near Brussels.

In 1815, the Duke of Wellington, allied with the Prussian army against France led to a decisive battle at Waterloo. The British army outnumbered their opponents, but Napoleon's numerical superiority meant that the battle lasted until nightfall. To escape capture, Napoleon hid in the hedgerows and was later found by a peasant woman who recognised him as a man she'd seen before. The French army still lost the battle and were forced to surrender.
