    About this audiobook

    1815 was the year of Waterloo, the British victory that ended Napoleon's European ambitions and ushered in a century largely of peace for Britain. But what sort of country were Wellington's troops fighting for? And what kind of society did they return to? Overseas, the bounds of Empire were expanding; while at home the population endured the chill of economic recession.

      For anyone wanting an overview of the Regency. This is a fantastic book. Packed full of facts but not too many and the narrator is absolutely magnificent. For avid fans of Jane Austen or if you just wanted to get the scoop on The battle of Waterloo this is a great read.
