My rating : 3.5 of 5 stars

As with the previous book (Commando #4823: Waterloo!), the narrative for this one covers a large chunk of the Napoleonic period, but this time from the British point of view, and ending with the Peterloo Massacre in 1819. And as with the previous one, that's a lot of story to tell in 64 pages.

While I appreciate the educational aspects of these two semi-linked issues, I'm not getting the same enjoyment out of them as with the other Napoleonic tales I've read so far. Still, good enough to keep me reading.

Peterloo???



Was ok but very little of the action had anything to with Peterloo.
A good yarn nonetheless. Usual Commando tale
