It is ordered on demand from our supplier and is usually dispatched within 7 - 11 working days Writing to his mother the day after the fighting, Captain Thomas Wildman of the 7th Hussars described 'a victory so splendid & important that you may search the annals of history in vain for its parallel'. Little wonder, for Waterloo was widely recognised - even in its immediate wake - as one of the most decisive battles in history: after more than twenty years of uninterrupted conflict this single day's encounter finally put paid to French aspirations for European hegemony. The culminating point of the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, Waterloo also witnessed levels of determination and bravery by both sides which far exceeded anything experienced by the veterans of Wellington's recent campaigns in Spain and Portugal. Indeed, it was that unconquerable spirit which left over men dead on the field of battle and tens of thousands of others wounded. This thoroughly researched and highly detailed account of one history's greatest human dramas looks first at the wider strategic picture before focussing on the tactical roles played by individual British units - all meticulously examined with the benefit of the extensive array of hitherto unexploited primary sources which reveal the battlefield experience of officers and soldiers as never before. Refusing simply to repeat the same unchallenged accounts and to commit the same errors of previous historians, this work relies exclusively on hundreds of first-hand accounts by men of all ranks and from practically every British regiment and corps present on that fateful day to provide a fresh and revised perspective on one of the most pivotal events of modern times.

However, things go haywire when his father decides to ban video games and TV all summer, trying to convince his 21st century kids to to be more physically active, like the republicans across the street. So, out of boredom, Greg ends up doing many dumb and ill thought out things that result in awkward and pretty hilarious situations.The regular cast of characters take more of a reduced roll in this movie, which makes their appearances funnier and more welcome than in the previous movies. Even Greg's older brother, the lazy, conniving teenager who is the drummer for a crappy metal band, is not as prevalent as he used to be. But Devon Bostick does wonders with the Rodrick character, especially at the end during an ill fated performance. Zachary Gordon plays the main character, and he does a good job of essentially being every trouble making pre teen that is completely annoyed at his comfortable existence. Steve Zahn has an expanded role as the dopey, eccentric father who tries in vain to have his adolescent sons not act like adolescent sons.
