Book
The Fields of Death
First published 2010
Europe, 1809–1815. Wellesley’s campaigns in Portugal, Spain and southern France erode French control while Napoleon’s invasion of Russia and the coalition wars weaken his empire. After abdication and exile, Napoleon returns for the Hundred Days and forces one final campaign. The parallel narratives culminate at Waterloo, where decisions made across two careers are compressed into a battle that ends Napoleon’s rule and secures Wellington’s place in European history.
