Synopsis

THE FIELDS OF DEATH is the epic final novel in Simon Scarrow's bestselling Wellington and Napoleon Quartet. Essential reading for fans of Bernard Cornwell.

1809. Viscount Wellington and Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte have made their mark as military commanders. Lifelong enemies, they both believe their armies are strong enough to destroy any rival. But in war victory can never be certain.

While Wellington's success continues in Spain, Napoleon feels the sting of failure. Yet despite a disastrous Russian campaign and humiliating defeat at Leipzig, he persists in fighting on.

With Napoleon's power waning, the newly titled Duke of Wellington is perfectly placed to crush the tyrant. But his enemy refuses to surrender, and so the two giants must face a final reckoning on the bloody battlefield of Waterloo...

Goodreads review by Stuart on September 03, 2014

Excellent insight into the minds of two great generals who only meet in the final battle of Waterloo. Wellington came over as more humane than I imagined though he was quoted as describing his men as 'the scum of the earth' on one occasion. My only real criticism was the lack of maps. I would enjoy......more

Goodreads review by Tom on May 23, 2012

I generally avoid paperbacks that come in at 700 pages, but a friend gave this one to me, so I cleared my diary for a couple of weeks and sat down to read it. The opening did not bode well. Napoleon is attacking "the Bohemian town of Ratisbon." Where was that? Bohemia? Ratisbon? It's hardly the best-......more
