THIS DAY IN HISTORY
- 18th June 1815
Battle of Waterloo commences.
A lot has been said and written about the Battle of Waterloo, where Napoleon met his Waterloo, but the most scholarly and comprehensive account was written by the Swedish historians Benny Andersson, Stig Anderson and Bj?rn Ulvaeus (collectively known as Abba ) who wrote, in their definitive Waterloo, "My, my, at Waterloo Napoleon did surrender" which historians and military planners alike still study to this day.
