THE FIELDS OF DEATH. Simon Scarrow (Hardback 2010)

THE FIELDS of DEATH by Simon Scarrow

Two commanders. One Battle: WATERLOO.

1809. Viscount Wellington and Napoleon Bonaparte, Emporer of France, have made their mark as outstanding military commanders. Lifelong enemies, they both believe their armies are strong enough to destroy all rivals. But war is the realm of risk and victory can never be certain.

While Wellington achieves further success fighting the French in Spain, Napoleon feels the sting of failure after his march on Vienna. His disasterous Russian campaign and humiliating defeat at Leipzig leave his men wearied but, shunning wiser counsel, he continues to fight.

With Napoleon's power waning, the newly titled Duke of Wellington is perfectly placed to crush the tyrant. Napoleon is not ready to quit, and so the two giants must face each other for the final time across the bloody battle of Waterloo.....

THE FIELDS OF DEATH is the last and climatic novel in Simon Scarrow's gripping and dramatic series following the lives of Napoleon and Welling - two of the greatest figures in European history.
