Uncover the Unsung Stories of Waterloo's Real Heroes

Scum of the Earth reveals the often-untold experiences of the ordinary British soldiers who fought at Waterloo. Beyond the battlefield glory, explore their lives in a Regency Britain grappling with social and political unrest.

Colin Brown masterfully portrays the struggles of these forgotten heroes, from the lauded James Graham to the ill-fated John Lees, challenging traditional narratives of military heroism. Discover a nation at war with itself, where victory abroad couldn't mask the deep class divisions and simmering revolution at home. Perfect for readers of military and social history.
