Belloc insists that a battle can only be understood through the campaign and the campaign through its political object. He explains what Napoleon hoped to achieve in 1815, follows the advance across the Sambre, the actions at Ligny and Quatre Bras, the allied retreat and the French advance on Waterloo and Wavre, and then the great action itself.
A crisp, opinionated military study by a master stylist, ideal for readers who want the campaign made clear. Download the free EPUB.
