THE TWILIGHT OF THE GUARD

Network Three
on Network Three

By ANTONY BRETT-JAMES
Yesterday was the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo
Because we all know the story of the defeat of Napoleon's Old Guard we tend to forget that it was far from a foregone conclusion; some of the victors were as surprised as the vanquished.
How did it happen? Antony Brett. James, a Senior Lecturer in Military History at Sandhurst, considers some of the less obvious factors involved; and some of their implications.
