So with the 201st anniversary of Waterloo tomorrow, does anybody have any suggested readings? Excerpts they'd care to share? Thoughts? Questions? Maybe just shitty memes?
To start: Should Napoleon have won? How easy would it have been for him to win? What would he have needed to do?
who cares lmao

I've always wanted to see the movie Waterloo personally. Everyone goes on about how accurate it is, and I don't think M&B NW is a good substitute.

No. Wellington was the only person who could have beaten Napoleon since he was an absolute madman. If you look at what he really did ( not what most people tell you, that's a major myth) you'll realize he was probably smoking some shit.

You should watch it, it's a great film really accurate.

16,000 extras
That's a lot of commitment

>about how accurate it is
It gives Brits too much importance, but it's still pretty great

>Should Napoleon have won?
He can't win at Waterloo because he already lost at Leipzig.

Need suggestions for books on Waterloo and other books on Napoleanic Wars

I don't follow. Of course he would've been crushed after Waterloo, but I don't see why that would keep him from winning at Waterloo. Can you explain?
