"The Battle of Waterloo" is an intricate account of the famed confrontation on June 18, 1815, where Napoleon's French army was defeated by the Seventh Coalition, led by the Duke of Wellington and Field Marshal von Blücher. This pivotal moment, marking the end of the Napoleonic Wars, set the stage for a new era of peace known as the Pax Britannica. The book explores the strategic moves, battles, and aftermath, while also listing officers impacted and detailing honors bestowed upon units and individuals.

Remarkably, this unique edition, printed in Calcutta in 1816 from John Booth's original 1815 London publication, is an exceedingly rare find with no other known copies of this specific printing globally.
