Objects allow us to reach out and touch the past and they play a living role in history today. Through them we can come closer to the reality experienced by the soldiers who fought at Waterloo ? that most iconic of all battles. Explore the legacy of one of the greatest battles in military history ? the Battle of Waterloo ? through this finely crafted collection of objects, each telling their own story of the day. Bullet-pierced armour and dramatic battledress bring you closer to the heart of the action, and the tragedy of the death toll is made ever more poignant by the personal mementoes left behind. From the grim reality of the teeth of the dead turned into dentures to the romance of Napoleon's steeds, swash-buckling swords and ballgowns, each object offers new insight into the incredible events that unfolded on 18 June 1815. This is a fascinating journey through 100 objects, from the rare to the memorable, in a unique testimony to the importance of the Battle of Waterloo, 200 years on. AUTHOR: Gareth Glover is an ex Royal Navy officer who has studied the Napoleonic wars for over 40 years and during the last decade has published over one hundred volumes of memoirs/journals of soldiers who fought during the period. He has utilised all of this new material to rewrite the entire Waterloo campaign in an effort to eradicate the numerous distortions that have taken root over the past two centuries. 100 colour, 50 b/w illustrations
