From the publishers:
This […] history of the 1815 campaign provides a new […] account of the epic confrontation at Waterloo and, in addition, acts as a reliable guide to the battlefield and all related sites. The authors have divided the battlefield of Waterloo into three distinct sectors: one for each of the three armies involved. This allows the reader to follow the fighting from three different perspectives and gain an objective understanding of the […] course of the battle. The authors also make use of […] eyewitness testimony, drawn from participants in all three armies […]. Previously unpublished letters from British officers, the recollections of a Dutch-Belgian staff officer and the memoirs of a French colonel of cuirassiers all contribute to an understanding of […] what it was like to fight [at Waterloo]. In addition to covering Waterloo itself, this […] book also examines the […] situation in Brussels as the French drew near, the aftermath of the battle, the battle at Wavre, the Prussian pursuit and Marshal Grouchy's […] defense of Namur.
