The Battle of Waterloo itself is only one chapter--Mercer specifically notes the fog of battle and the impossibility of seeing any more than what is immediately around a position. Especially interesting are the scenes of the occupation of Paris in the final third of the book. Wellington does not fare well and comes across as temperamental and vindictive.
