The Duke, the Model Maker and the Secret of Waterloo
The extraordinary story of how one man's obsession to build a huge model of Waterloo - the greatest model of the greatest battle of all time - incurred the wrath of the Duke of Wellington.
'A book that should be read and pondered deeply by anyone interested even vaguely in the Napoleonic wars . . . Hofschroeer's impeccable research shows that the Iron Duke was guilty of self-regarding pettiness, obsessive vanity, spin-doctoring, and a shameful vendetta against a man whose only crime was to tell the truth.' ~ Daily Express
