Why does Waterloo matter? How was it manipulated? And how did it become a business in its own right? Regular listeners of the show will know that these questions and much more have been covered by the Napoleonic Wars Podcast’s ‘Scholar in Residence’, Dr Luke ‘Memory’ Reynolds, in his critically acclaimed and award winning book Who Owned Waterloo. That book is now available in paperback, and to mark its release Luke sat down at The Lambs social and theatrical club with Professor of History Benjamin Carter Hett (https://twitter.com/BenjaminHett).

Eddie Zimmerman returns for a chat about the iconic American. A man whose sheer tenacity kept the fledgling USA in the war despite repeated military setbacks in the early stages of the war. We discuss the myths and controversies as well as the man's character, and why he may have been fundamental to helping America define itself.

A less-than-Presidential, two hour broadcast, in which Zack has multiple aneurysms, Luke self proclaims to be a 'Scholar in Residence', and then refers to military history as 'Guns and balls and pointy things'.
We also do some serious historianing at some point in the broadcast.
This is a new style of content, in which we look at the state of Napoleonic history, new book releases, new historical dramas that are being released, and conferences you need to attend.
