How the French Won Waterloo - or Think They Did
Two centuries after the Battle of Waterloo, the French can't quite believe that Napoleon had victory snatched from his grasp. Based on meticulous research and written with his trademark wit, the author of 1000 YEARS OF ANNOYING THE FRENCH takes a fresh look at Waterloo, re-examining everything we thought we knew, and revealing why the French still think they won.

Über den Autor
Stephen Clarke lives in Paris, where he divides his time between writing and not writing.His Merde novels have been bestsellers all over the world, including France. His non-fiction books include Talk to the Snail, an insider's guide to understanding the French; How the French Won Waterloo (or Think They Did), an amused look at France's continuing obsession with Napoleon; Dirty Bertie: An English King Made in France, a biography of Edward VII; and 1000 Years of Annoying the French, which was a number one bestseller in Britain.Research for The French Revolution and What Went Wrong took him deep into French archives in search of the actual words, thoughts and deeds of the revolutionaries and royalists of 1789. He has now re-emerged to ask modern Parisians why they have forgotten some of the true democratic heroes of the period, and opted to idolize certain maniacs.
