Opposing him was an army of British, Dutch and Prussian Allies, led by the brilliant commander Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington. The tactics employed during that brutal one-day confrontation and how it became the last stand, and ultimate defeat, for one of the greatest military geniuses to have ever lived provide the basis for this fascinating documentary.
