In this episode, he is joined by proud Frenchman Fred Sirieix to separate the fact from the fiction of the Napoleonic wars. Was the battle of Waterloo really a great British victory or did Napoleon score an own goal? Were Nelson's tactics in the battle of Trafalgar genius or reckless? Were the British troops the pick of Europe, or did the French actually dance rings around them?
