《滑铁卢：四天三军三战史》Waterloo: The History of Four Days, Three Armies and Three Battles

作者：Bernard Cornwell

A great and terrible story of a battle that was fought 200 years ago, told with energy and clarity by a writer who has a deep understanding of men in combat and why they do what they do. "Waterloo" proves that Bernard Cornwell's non-fiction is as fine as his novels, if not finer.

200年前的伟大战斗，如此磅礴、清晰。作者对战斗中的人和动机有着深刻的理解。《滑铁卢》证明Cornwell非虚构作品的功力不输于虚构作品。
