OverviewExplore the legacy of one of the greatest battles in military history - the Battle of Waterloo - through this finely crafted collection of objects, each telling their own story of the day. Bullet-pierced armour and dramatic battledress bring you closer to the heart of the action, and the tragedy of the death toll is made ever more poignant by the personal mementoes left behind. From the grim reality of the teeth of the dead turned into dentures to the romance of Napoleon's steeds, swash-buckling swords and ballgowns, each object offers new insight into the incredible events that unfolded on 18 June 1815. This is a fascinating journey through 100 objects, from the rare to the memorable, in a unique testimony to the importance of the Battle of Waterloo, 200 years on. 80 b/w and 100 coloured illustrations Full Product DetailsAuthor: Gareth Glover , Andrew RobertsPublisher: The History Press Ltd Imprint: The History Press Ltd Dimensions: Width: 15.60cm , Height: 2.30cm , Length: 23.40cm Weight: 0.794kg ISBN: 9780750962896ISBN 10: 0750962895 Pages: 320 Publication Date: 06 April 2015 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Hardback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In Print  This item will be ordered in for you from one of our suppliers.
