You don't need any prior knowledge of the battle to enjoy it. It covers everything.

The movie Waterloo is very good, it goes well with the book.
Napoleon was a brilliant man, very shrewd military leader, not a nut job like Hitler. Whatever one is to say of dictators and despots it takes scheming to get in power and even more so to remain in power, to have a second act the way Napoleon did is playing the game almost as well as Caesar Augustus.


I've been meaning to study up on him more and of course Waterloo, I might have to add this to my list as well.


It's a shame Kubrick never was able to see his Napoleon film come to be....Jack Nicholson was to play Bonaparte.

I will just remind you Lyle without having to resort to multiple @mentions or any of your millenial gaybo stuff of your own opening sentence . Maybe reflect on that and think of it as a reading comprehension excercise


"Oh so it's not being "forced".....maybe "coerced" is a better word but whatever YOU do @Beanz never even address that there MIGHT be an issue, never change"



See now you have me fucking @mentioning myself by quoting your drivel. You were the one who had to bring a fucking race argument into a thread about books. Seriously does it keep you up at night? Is it so troubling to you that you can't continue to be the dominant young white male demographic forever and a day? A fucking race to the bottom mate that seems to be what you are intent on making the forum. Wind up the tension, throw in a few hand grenades, bluff ignorance and steadily drip , drip your fucking belly aching until IT seems normal and all the other posters are painted as 'Them' 'Snowflakes' 'the enemy' 'Goons'


We were all mates,We are all going to die, and you are wasting your time on this shit?
Yes YOU have to change but it is really not that hard.
I use @ mentions to get your attention.....don't want me to post directly @ you, fine I won't post @ you at fucking all....OH WAIT, I can't do that because I nearly drowned in your tears from the last time I do that.

I @ mentioned Batman, he didn't cry about it....why do you?

I asked Batman a question, not you, YOU jumped in why? Because why not, I cannot post without you throwing a temper tantrum apparently....why do you bother me, yes, YOU take YOUR time and follow ME around the forum. Just tell me "Hey, I don't want you to post in here" fucking type it out instead of your constant bitching, I'll leave YOU alone, too bad that's not a mutual thing.

Call all your mates Nazi's do you? Accuse them of sympathizing with that group do you? You're a piece of shit, I'm not your fucking mate....wouldn't piss on you if you burst into flames and that was all I could put it out with.
