Sinopsis
Excerpt from Waterloo
In many respects Waterloo is indeed an ideal battlefield, and not unlike our own Gettysburg. It is easy to see why Wellington won, when one rides over the field. I never understood it before going there, and let me see if I can now make it plain to others.

Excerpt from Waterloo
Here Wellington stood against Napoleon, and whipped him, and drove him back into France, and out of Europe, and established the power and authority of the Anglo-Saxon race over the whole earth for a century nearly now. I think that was something to do; and you can see it all here at Waterloo, if you have only the right kind of eyes to see.
Waterloo itself is only a little typical Belgian village, of a few hundred inhabitants, strung along the Brussels and Charleroi road for a mile or two. It is three miles or more from the battlefield, and the great battle only happened to be so called, because Wellington wrote his first dispatch home from there. It took him three days to get the news to London; he could do it now in three minutes. But it soon set all England wild, and Europe as well.
