Competition

Thanks to our friends at Pen and Sword with have two prize bundles up for grabs with two winners each receiving a copy of Philip Prince of Greece, Waterloo Witnesses and Resistance Heroines in Nazi & Russian Occupied Austria.

The story of Waterloo, as one of the most famous battles in history, is quite well known, which is why this approach, from Kristine Hughes, makes such a fascinating alternative. She has gathered together letters and diary entries from the military people and civilians leading up to, during, and after the battle. It’s absolutely fascinating to read how the civilians referred to Napoleon as Boney or how frustrated the

Iron Duke was preparations for the battle. Told chronologically, it’s full of incredible detail from all and sundry, bringing the scale and ferocity of the battle into full focus.

Now, thanks to the generosity of military book publisher, Pen and Sword, we have two copies to give away. Simply answer the question below and go to the website to enter.
