How the French Won Waterloo - or Think They Did

A witty look at how the French still think they won, from the author of "1000 Years Of Annoying The French" and "A Year In The Merde", published in the 200th anniversary year of the Battle of Waterloo.

Summary

The Duke of Wellington was beaten, they say, and then the Prussians jumped into the boxing ring, breaking all the rules of battle. In essence, the French cannot bear the idea that Napoleon, their greatest-ever national hero, was in any way a loser. Especially not against the traditional enemy - les Anglais.
