About this ebook
In this stirring saga, seven comrades and heroes slog through the swirl and tumult of the Napoleonic Wars, fighting for their lives across Europe, from Austria to Portugal, France to Russia, until the warriors confront their destiny at Waterloo. Drawn from true stories left behind by the soldiers of the First Empire, this dramatic tale rings true in both triumph and defeat.
