Volume 40 of the series From Reason to Revolution 1721-1815. Making extensive use of previously unpublished material, this book offers an unprecedented insight into the Waterloo campaign from the perspective of a single regiment. It shows the preparations leading up to the battle, the regiment's role in the battle and the long months the regiment spent in France after the fall of Paris until it finally returned home in December 1815. A command book for the year as well as letters and diaries of several officers provide information about the internal life of the regiment and its - sometimes humorous - social life.
