Mr. Cornwell-

I just finished “Waterloo” and I certainly have enjoyed it.

Fantastic as your creation itself is, reading the accounts both fires the imagination, grants insights into the minds of folks from those times, an inspires a thirst for deeper knowledge. To go online and see the state of Hougoumont, imagining it now looks as it might have on June 1, 1815…dizzying!

Anyway, I wanted even more. Inadvertently, I discovered the 1970 movie account of the battle. While your book leads me to recognize it’s inaccuracies, the scenes of the battles are stunning. All real, no CGI. Quite spectacular.  If it were made today, they would add WAY too many people, and have seemingly superpowered soldiers battling. (Absurd to see 500,000 men at the walls of Troy!) Any, was curious if you ever got to see it? A snippet :
