Descriptionof Waterloo. The Campaign of 1815. Volume 1: From Elba to Ligny and Quatre Bras
-
Manufacturer
The first of two groundbreaking volumes on the Waterloo campaign, this book is based upon a detailed analysis of sources old and new in four languages. It highlights the political stresses between the Allies, and their resolution; it studies the problems of feeding and paying for 250000 Allied forces assembling in Belgium during the "undeclared war", and how a strategy was thrashed out. It studies the neglected topic of how the slow and discordant Allies beyond the Rhine hampered the plans of Blucher and Wellington, thus allowing Napoleon to snatch the initiative from them. Napoleon's operational plan is analyzed (and Soult's mistakes in executing it). Accounts from both sides help provide a vivid impression of the fighting on the first day, 15 June, and the volume ends with the joint battles of Ligny and Quatre Bras the next day.
Accounts by contemporary witnesses give a vivid impression of the first battles of this last campaign of the Napoleonic Wars on 15 June 1815. The volume concludes with accounts of the battles of Ligny and Quatre Bras.
