Dear Mr. Cornwell,
While I like to be somewhat knowledgeable about the past, I am not a fan of non-fiction historical texts, though I enjoy many an historical novel. I have recently been reading a number of books set in 1800’s England, and the Napoleonic wars, and Waterloo in particular, are often referenced and play a major part in the lives and development of the various characters. So I decided I needed to read about Waterloo. I did a search through my local library, and your book, Waterloo, was the only one that came up, so I requested it.
I want to thank you for writing such a riveting story of those battle days! I am only on Chapter 5, but it has been a fascinating read so far, and I look forward to finishing it. It is so well written, and the many quotes are absolutely wonderful. Thank you for doing so much research, for writing this book, and for making it such a good read!
Sincerely,
Cassy
