Description

In the aftermath of his defeat to the Allies Napoleon had one last throw of the dice to regain power. Returning from his exile on Elba, Napoleon encourages French forces to fight with him once more as leader, and to discard their loyalty to the French king who had exiled him. The old Emperor marched to Paris and seized power within weeks, appointing his own men and looking for foreign excursions to prove his merit. Yet he knew other European nations would fight against him, seeing his forces move to French borders to launch attacks, firstly upon little Belgium. The Allies presented themselves there in case Napoleon advanced further into the country. His force of 125,000 met a combined Allied force of over 200,000, and was defeated by guile, cunning and brilliance in battle. Describing the events using first-hand sources, the writer, who has also penned a biography of Wellington in 'The Duke', transports the reader vividly into Napoleon's final hurrah. 'The Hundred Days' is a brilliant history of the one of the most dramatic episodes of 19th century history that culminates in the Battle of Waterloo.
