emi505's review against another edition
4.0
A refreshing and quirky read soaked with entertaining irony. It was fun to explore the battle of Waterloo and Napoleon's whereabouts from a rather British perspective. I definitely learned a great deal of interesting things that are often overlooked in textbooks and history classes.

Half billion pounds, is How much England has paid for fight with Napoleon, paying
anyone who dare to help.
To begin with, Napoleon's enthusiasts think even that God has send rain on times of battles
Napoleon could not use his favourite weapon, artillery.
At war, same as in love. To end you have to be in the closeness.
So, french think that Napoloens defeat was success of faith as he was to good to win, and
payed the price, just like Joanna d’Arc did.
In two decades french developed interesting ideas about wining Wotterlo, such as, that
they captured more baners, some say, even six, losing only two eagels. Other one is that
first part of the battle hes been won by french, second by British.
Pierre Cambronne has said " merde!" in response to proposal of surrender. And that naked him a winner in enthusiasts eyes.
Le memorial de sainte-helene memorial is like Bible to bonapartists. Napoleon has written
there why he has been called petit coprol, not because of his height, but that hi has fought
in Armee d’Italie,french invasion army, not Italian. As swell written that he didn't crave for
crown, that he got it up from gutter, given by people.
There are also other books on the subject that are mensioned,with one example of french
paranoia that everyone is against the France, an that Waterlo is more like lottery win,
rather then wining. As for me I will always be in favor of Aristocracy, that core of France.
English Accuracy, precaution, geometry, prudence intuition... vs french intuition of
guessing... is the ground scenery of this conflict.
baccalauréat, french A levels or matura in Polish was invented by Napoleon for students
entering high school. Name of this exam is meaning preparing to become scholar or
knight.
Finally defeat of Napoleon has been whining ground for France as France could grow and
prosper after that period.
