A beautiful photo book featuring re-enactors on the field of Waterloo. Page after page of great colour photos that are an inspiration and painting guide. What little text there is in the book is in French but buy it for the photos, they are great.
A major historical and military site of international renown, the battlefield of Waterloo is a vast, green and peaceful space extending to the gates of Greater Brussels. Never as at Waterloo did Napoleon wage a battle of this magnitude on such a narrow front: three kilometres at most. At Austerlitz, where the battle pitted an almost equal number of combatants against each other, the front was 15 km! Hence, at Waterloo, this carnage, this hecatomb... Several thousand men and horses met a brutal death here. Sacred by this murderous struggle, the fields of Waterloo have become places of pilgrimage, contemplation and meditation.
