Of all the battles Napoleon fought, and despite all his great victories, the most famous is the one he lost—Waterloo. This program looks at the events leading up to Waterloo: the French Revolution and the anxieties it aroused in other European monarchies; the ancient enmity between England and France; the rise of Napoleon; his many successes until he failed in Russia; his abdication and removal to Elba; his return; and the battle itself, with all its characters and its character. Also available in English. (52 minutes) French
