Description & Specifications

For nearly 200 years, the British perception of the Battle of Waterloo was that it was a great British victory over the French tyrant Napoleon, achieved despite the allied armies of the Duke of Wellington. The testimonies of British soldiers, reinforced by doubts expressed in Wellington's reports, downplayed and sidelined the courage and ability of these allies.

However, over the past twenty years, modern historians, with better access to reports and records from the allied states, have sought to restore the truth, and their efforts have borne fruit with changing attitudes and a better understanding of the significant role played by the allies. Andrew Field, in the latest of his innovative series of books on Waterloo, makes a strong contribution to this ongoing discussion by analyzing the accounts of these allied forces in detail during the campaign.

In his balanced, non-partisan reassessment, he describes the composition of these forces, their training and experience, as well as their military capability. Graphic accounts are included of their actions and performance on the battlefield. His work is essential reading for all students of the Waterloo campaign.
