About this listen

 Step into the past with Reminiscences of Captain Gronow, a captivating collection of memoirs that brings to life the tumultuous events of the Peninsular War and the iconic Battle of Waterloo. Through the eyes of a former Grenadier Guards officer, a failed parliamentarian, and an undeniable dandy, we explore the vibrant society and intriguing personalities of Regency London and 19th-century Paris. While Gronows social perspectives may clash with modern sensibilities, his sharp wit and storytelling prowess illuminate both the grim realities of war and the exuberance of high society, making for an unforgettable journey through time.
