So you are saying that for historians, it's a critical and complex time, about which there is a lot of evidence. Do you think that the analysis side of it generates its own fervor- that previous interpreatations of, for example, the Peninsular campaigns, encourage alternative or more developed discussion?

Obvious point, but I'm glad you made it.I must admit to finding it very difficult to continue to be an apothecary in Cromwell's New Model Army in Canada.;-)Yet the Waterloo campaign does get re-enacted, and the sites do get visited- there are battlefield tours to the area that are as popular as those to the WW1 and WWII sites.
