The Waterloo Campaign, 1815

A meticulous, campaign-level military history reconstructs the movements, engagements, and command decisions of opposing armies during the campaign culminating at Waterloo. Drawing on extensive eyewitness testimony and staff records, it presents chronological accounts of key actions at Quatre Bras, Ligny, Waterloo and associated fights, detailed tactical maps and plans, unit dispositions, and analyses of strategy and command. Appendices supply nominal officer lists and notes, while the author explains methodology derived from constructing a battlefield model. The narrative emphasizes operational detail, reconciles conflicting reports against primary evidence, and regularly comments on the conduct and effect of battlefield decisions.
