I'm enjoying this book, but it's not compelling me. I'm listening to the Audible version, which is well read, and I sometimes wish I had a map in front of me. OTOH, I don't actually _care_ about the details of who was on which road. What is more interesting, and well covered, is the logistical and tactical considerations that led to Wellington's victory. And the ways in which it could all have gone horribly wrong. (For example, why did Marshall Ney delay his attack on Quatre Bras.)
