It involved huge armies and heavy losses on both sides. For those who fought in it - Dutch and Belgians, Prussians and Hanoverians as well as British and French troops - it was a murderous struggle. For all its ferocity, it was a battle that would be remembered very differently across Europe. In Britain it would be seen as an iconic battle whose memory would be enmeshed in British national identity across the following century. It failed to achieve this iconic status elsewhere. In Prussia it was overshadowed by the Battle of the Nations at Leipzig, while in Holland it was a simple appendage to the prestige of the House of Orange. And in France it was the epitome of a heroic defeat that served to sustain the romantic legend of the Napoleonic Wars and contributed to the growing cult of Napoleon himself. Whereas most works on the battle of Waterloo are only military in nature, Alan Forrest's outstanding work-the first in the Great Battles series -- describes every aspect of how the battle was fought but deals equally with the aftermath: how it has been commemorated, and its legacy. --Provided by publisher 410 0$aGreat battles (Oxford University Press) 606 $aWaterloo, Battle of, Waterloo, Belgium, 1815 606 $aRegions & Countries - Europe$2HILCC 606 $aHistory & Archaeology$2HILCC 606 $aFrance$2HILCC 615 0$aWaterloo, Battle of, Waterloo, Belgium, 1815. 615 7$aRegions & Countries - Europe 615 7$aHistory & Archaeology 615 7$aFrance 676 $a940.2742 700 $aForrest$b Alan I$0139928 801 0$bPQKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910963109103321 996 $aWaterloo$94389574 997 $aUNINA
