Description: "One woman's true story of war, love, and loss." "Magdalene De Lancey fought to save her husband's life on the edge of the battlefield at Waterloo. American-born William was one of the first professional officers in the British army and the Duke of Wellington's chief-of-staff." "Magdalene's heartrending account of her struggle to nurse her husband was written as a letter to her brother and has a striking immediacy. Any woman who has ever waited for a husband at war or nursed the man she loves will empathize with Magdalene's fears, hopes, and sorrow."--Jacket.
