We are more immersed in war now than we have ever been; we
experience it and are affected by it remotely even when our country
isn't actively participating. By focusing on how war affects the
people who aren't heroes, Thackeray has given us the greatest novel
about Waterloo, and one that is just as relevant 200 years
later."
