5.0 out of 5 stars Exciting history as well as romance, 3 Feb 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: An Infamous Army (Paperback)

"An Infamous Army" is an excellent Heyer romance which takes place during the tense times before Waterloo, which battle is the climax of the book. Heyer's accounts of Wellington's handling of the war and of the battle itself are absolutely gripping reading---intricately detailed and painstakingly researched. "An Infamous Army" is a historical romance on an entirely different scale from most of Heyer's other novels; even those who ordinarily avoid romance should definitely read this one.

Of course, there is romance: between the Lady Barbara Childe, a member of the Alastair family from "These Old Shades" and "Devil's Cub", and Charles Audley, from "Regency Buck". It's not a sequel to those books, but several characters reappear, particularly Judith from "Regency Buck", who is here one of the major points-of-view.

Heyer's magnum opus, and a great read.

4.0 out of 5 stars A moving story of love and war, 20 May 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: An Infamous Army (Paperback)

The events surrounding the Battle of Waterloo in 1815 are so accurately researched and well presented that this book has been used in many history classrooms. The love story between "Bad Bab" Childe and Charles Audley is moving, but you get the feeling this is one Heyer couple that's not headed for "happily ever after".

4.0 out of 5 stars Historical Romance, 15 Nov 2007

By	Mrs. K. A. Wheatley "katywheatley" (Leicester, UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This is atypical of Heyer's work in that it focuses predominantly on the history, rather than the romance. Having said that, it is unmistakeably Heyer. Feisty heroine, dashing hero and some fine humour to sustain it. It is history heavy however, and if you're not keen on the minutiae of military history I suggest you steer clear, and if you're looking for an introduction to Heyer I suggest you start elsewhere and come back to this when you're truly hooked. Apparently the historical detail in this book is accurate to such a degree that her work is used to teach students about Waterloo. Never having studied it, I can't comment for the veracity. It is however, an interesting book, although not one of my favourites.
