Examination of how a ramshackle British army managed to defeat the formidable French at the Battle of Waterloo. Napoleon Bonaparte had used a policy of total war and military might to build a huge empire and create the most powerful country in Europe in the 18th and early 19th centuries. Written testimonies from soldiers of the era help to explain how the fate of the world was decided through bloodshed.

Freedom
An examination of how British ideas of liberty in the 18th century were dramatically changed by events across the English Channel, prompting a move toward conservative thinking.
