| The wars started with a peasant's revolt in Paris and ended beside an |
| obscure farmhouse in Belgium. Over nearly three decades, France, her |
| armies and her new emperor turned Europe into a cauldron of conflict. |
| Henri Durant and Jean Tavere were just two of the thousands of men |
| whose lives were turned upside down in these tumultuous years. In the |
| end, only one of them would survive the battle ofà |
| |
| Waterloo! |
| Introduction |
| |
| 200 years ago, the battle that - arguably if you're |
| French - set the political landscape of Europe for many generations was |
| fought in a previously insignificant area of what was then the |
| Netherlands. Waterloo. |
| |
| Described by the eventual victor, the Duke of Wellington, as "the |
| nearest-run thing you ever saw in your life" it was a titanic struggle |
| between the armies of half the nations of Europe. But what of the men, |
| the ordinary Joes and Pierres who closed together in the heat and smoke |
| of battle? We asked regular Commando writer Ferg Handley to weave some |
| of his magic and give us a tale that showed a little of the life they |
| might have lived. That he's managed to put those lives in an authentic |
| historical setting - not just an extended battle scene - is testament |
| to his talents. |
| |
| He came up with a pair of stories (Part Two is coming soon!) that |
| Carlos Pino has illustrated with his customary panache. I really do |
| think they've done us proud. |
