520 2 "The panoramic story of Waterloo, from its causes to its
aftermath, told through uniquely interwoven narratives
drawn from the diaries, letters, reminiscences, and great
novels of participants and witnesses--published in time
for the 200th anniversary of the battle. With Bonaparte's
escape from Elba in February 1815, the world was jolted
from the profound peace it had experienced for eleven
months back into the frenzied panic of a war it believed
had ended. David Crane captures the mixture of excitement
and fear that gripped England in the final days of a war
that opened up complex divisions in its society--from
Liverpool merchants who celebrated the end of hostilities
with America and stood allied against another war, to the
children of the Romantic Age who felt torn between their
own patriotism and a lingering hero-worship that no crime
of Napoleon's could eradicate. And he gives us an
unprecedented, revelatory hour-by-hour account of the day
of the battle. Focusing as much upon the boys and men torn
from their farms and flocks as on the aristocratic
families who provided Wellington with his officers, Went
the Day Well? is a remarkable portrait of an entire nation
engaged in a battle that changed the history of our world"
