一部关于Wellington、Waterloo、爱情与战争的小说。1815年夏，在占领军的庇护之下，Brussels成为了欧洲最欢腾的都市。而红发寡妇Lady Barbara Childe以美貌与叛逆同样出名，正处在社交漩涡及所有时尚享乐的中心。然而，整座城市暗潮汹涌——Napoleon对欧洲构成重重威胁——但人们口中谈论的却唯有这位光彩夺目、性情烈性的年轻女子。在那个躁动的春日，每场盛大的舞会、晚宴和音乐会似乎都让她以倾城之势俘获新的追求者。她是街头巷尾热议的……

《圣经》。《Escape From Reason》（弗朗西斯·薛华），讲为什么现代思想会是今天这副模样。《An Infamous Army》（乔洁特·海尔），摄政期罗曼史与滑铁卢战役绝妙描写的结合。《C Programming Language》（Kernighan & Ritchie），写得太清晰了，我一个长周末就搞懂了 C 语言……
The Bible. Escape From Reason (Francis Schaeffer). Why modern thought is the way it is. An Infamous Army (Georgette Heyer). Regency romance combined with a fabulous account of the Battle of Waterloo. The C Programming Language (Kernighan & Ritchie). So clearly written that I picked up C over a long weekend…
乔洁特·海尔的《An Infamous Army》描写得也相当出色。
"An Infamous Army" by Georgette Heyer has a very good account also.
乔洁特·海尔的《An Infamous Army》（可以说是她开创了 bodice-ripper 这种类型，后来芭芭拉·卡特兰又发扬光大了）曾被列入克兰韦尔学院的必读书单。对那场战役的最佳描写……
"infamous army" by Georgette Heyer (she pretty much invented the bodice-ripper genre which Barbara Cartland drove a long way afterward) was on the reading list at cranwell college. Best description of the battle of…
……学院就是英国皇家空军学院（给像我一样之前不知道的人普及下）。不过，虽然乔洁特·海尔开创了摄政罗曼史，但她的书可不是什么“bodice-rippers”。比那种高级得多。《An Infamous Army》是一本挺奇特的书。它一半是言情，一半是战争小说，单看哪一边都不算完全对味，但融为一体却自成一格。
…College is the Royal Air Force college (for those like me who didn't know). But, while Georgette Heyer invented the Regency romance, hers are not "bodice-rippers". They're far better than that. "An Infamous Army" is kind of a strange book. It's half a romance, and half a war story, and it doesn't quite work as either one, but it works well as itself.
