While Napoleon fought Wellington at Waterloo, Marshal Grouchy’s wing was engaged with Thielemann’s Prussian corps at Wavre, and afterwards brought his force skilfully back to France. Kelly reconstructs the operations from Ligny onward, using orders and dispatches to follow the Prussian retreat, Grouchy’s pursuit, Blücher’s march to Mont St Jean and the battle the great day overshadowed.
