'This is not just the best book on Waterloo I've read, it's also one of the most original and stimulating works of military history I've come across in years. ***** -- Simon Shaw, Mail On Sunday
Alessandro Barbero teaches Medieval Studies at the Universita del Piemonte Orientale. In 1996, he was awarded the Strega Prize, Italy's most prestigious literary award.
