Dear Bernard,
I eagerly awaited your Waterloo book which my wife purchased for me for Christmas and having opened the parcel on Christmas morning, I had the book devoured within a few days. It is an excellent portrayal of the battle and its lead up.
As an engineer I found your maps exciting and illuminating, casting fresh light on the sometimes unclear mapping provided in other similar books. Well done on this important singular issue.
Your oftentimes minor re-cap of events in a following chapter were generous and helped to build the tension.
All in all, the best book on Waterloo I have read in twenty years. Perhaps you will do a similar one for Austerlitz!.
Many thanks, enjoyed the read,
Robert.
