Bernard,

On a wargaming site that I frequent there is an ongoing discussion about an item on this page
http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2013/apr/18/top-five-deals-london-book-fair

This :
” A History of Waterloo by Bernard Cornwell
The historical novelist Bernard Cornwell, who has written over 20 novels telling the story of a soldier in the Napoleonic wars since 1980, turns to non-fiction with an account of the battle of Waterloo. According to the Bookseller it will be published in time to mark the 200th anniversary of Napoleon’s defeat in 2015.”

Having seen you always reply in the negative to readers’ suggestions that you turn your hand to writing history I find this dubious.
Is this correct?
