Detailed study of the five great phases of the Battle of Waterloo. Publisher Description A masterful study of command, control, communications, and even intelligence of all the major combatants during the Waterloo Campaign. Destined to become the gold standard for those studying how armies were controlled and decisions made during the Waterloo Campaign. - Robert Burnham, editor-in-chief, The Napoleon Series The concluding volume of this prize-winning work provides a fresh description of the climactic battle of Waterloo placed in the context of the whole campaign. It investigates several points of ongoing contention: Bl chers intentions for the battle, Wellingtons choice of site, his reasons for placing substantial forces at Hal, the placement of Napoleons artillery, who authorised the French cavalry attacks, Grouchys role on 18 and 19 June, Napoleons own statements on the Gardes formation in the final attack, and the climactic moment when the Prussians reached Wellingtons troops near la Belle Alliance. Close attention is paid to the negotiations that led to the capitulation of Paris, and subsequent French claims. The allegations of Las Cases and later historians that Napoleons surrender to Captain Maitland of the Bellerophon amounted to entrapment are also examined. After a survey of the peace settlement of 1815, the book concludes with a masterly chapter reviewing the whole story of the 1815 campaign.
