Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This, the fourth volume in Andrew Field's highly praised study of the Waterloo campaign from the French perspective, depicts in vivid detail the often neglected final phase the rout and retreat of Napoleon's army. The text is based exclusively on French eyewitness accounts which give an inside view of the immediate aftermath of the battle and carry the story through to the army's disbandment in late 1815. Many French officers and soldiers wrote more about the retreat than they did about the catastrophe of Waterloo itself. Their recollections give a fascinating insight to the psyche of the French soldier. They also provide a firsthand record of their experiences and the range of their reactions, from those who deserted the colors and made their way home, to those who continued to serve faithfully when all was lost. Napoleons own flight from Waterloo is an essential part of the narrative, but the main emphasis is on the fate of the beaten French army as it was experienced by eyewitnesses who lived through the last days of the campaign.

Book excerpt: "Waterloo: The Campaign of 1815 is illustrated with paintings, photographs and illustrations throughout, together with informative maps to guide the reader through each stage of the action. The book brings the mighty clash into focus for those not versed in 19[superscript th]-century warfare, while at the same time offering the military history enthusiast a vigorously argued standpoint. Author Jacques Logic does not desert the field when it comes to apportioning blame for the defeat." "A concise analysis of the historical background to the 1815 campaign, a review of contemporary warfare and of the armies in the field and their commanders sets the scene. The battle cannot be hermetically sealed off from Quatre-Bras, Ligny and later, Wavre. So the events of 15 June to 20 June are chronologically unfolded in detail, at once glorious and terrible. The author's closely argued interpretation of events follows. The second section provides a fascinating insight into the immediate aftermath: the medals, war damages, not least the elevation of Wellington to Olympian status. The longer term cultural heritage forms the final part, considering the battle as a political symbol, as a subject in art and literature and the Waterloo legacy in European (and world) history."--BOOK JACKET.

This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Without doubt, one of the finest accounts of a participant of the Waterloo campaign. Mercer was famously in charge of "G" troop RHA during the campaign, and from the journal he kept at the time, he formed this book. It is written with a jaunty air more often seen in the writings of French cavalry officers memoirs, a certain irreverence to rank and custom (his description of the Duc de Berri is particularly cutting) and a keen eye for detail and the anecdote. This edition is the second volume of a two volume series as originally published. Having been stationed in Belgium for over a month during which time he offers a number of telling remarks on the country and its inhabitants, and their enthusiasm for the conflict, his troop arrived belatedly at the battle of Quatre Bars on the 16th June 1815 as the fighting died down. He was involved in covering the retreat of the Allied forces northward to Waterloo on the 17th. During this retreat Mercer sights Napoleon riding with the vanguard of his advanced forces, as he struggles to cover his retreating comrades, in a moment he refers to as "sublime". During the battle on the 18th his troop is in the thick of the fighting, during which time Mercer's account leaves no detail out, apart from his disobeying Wellington's order to avoid counter-battery fire. As the battle rolls on the magnificent and yet foolhardy charges of the massed French cavalry are recounted with their brave but ultimately futile attempt to break the squares on the ridge, Mercer and his troop pour fire into the horsemen mercilessly. As the Armée du Nord recoils from its final attack in disarray, Mercer is ordered with his men to follow up the retreating hordes, he replies to his superior "How?" as the charnel house surrounding his position contains the dead and dying horses needed to pull his guns. Essential reading. Author - General Alexander Cavalié Mercer (1783-1868)

This book was released on 2016-03-21 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A detailed history of the Waterloo campaign, first published in 1900, which combines a succinct and complete narrative of events, with a careful running commentary. The author, an Oxford academic, takes us through the campaign step by step beginning with a portrait of France under the unpopular Bourbon monarchy; Napoleon's triumphant return from exile in Elba; his raising an army and the panic-stricken response of the Allies to the renewed Bonapartist threat. Morris takes us carefully through the military developments after Napoleon crosses the Belgian border in a bid to defeat the Prussians and the Anglo-Dutch forces under Wellington piecemeal, resulting in the twin battles of Ligny (against Blucher) and Quatre Bras. There then follows the climactic titanic struggle at Waterloo itself when the French flung themselves against the defensive position chosen by Wellington south of Brussels, only to be met by solid British squares. The furious struggle for possession of the forward posts of Hougemont, La Haye Sainte and the Belle Alliance are well described, as is the role of the artillery and cavalry. The Allied triumph is assured by the arrival of the Prussians in the nick of time to make the final victory over Napoleon complete.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Albert Nofi has used his many years of research to produce an account of the battle of Waterloo that has all the grandeur and military detail one could want, but which never loses its interest in individual human experience. Here Napoleon rides forward to take personal command of a small detachment of French Marines to fight his way across the Sambre river on the way to Waterloo. Hanoverian exiles who have been fighting Napoleon for a decade under English command are surrounded and wiped out in a classic "last stand" at the hour of victory. The Waterloo Campaign also covers the death of the Duke of Brunswick, the reconciliation of Napoleon and his estranged brother Jerome in the crucible of battle, and the tragic loss and miraculous delivery of many ordinary people.In addition to its popular appeal, Albert Nofi's The Waterloo Campaign has found favor with the most demanding of military enthusiasts. Waterloo is a Military Book Club Main Selection in the U.S. and has been selected for a special European edition. Special features of The Waterloo Campaign include the most complete orders of battle available for the British, French and Prussian armies, a detailed comparison of artillery and musketry capabilities, sidebars profiling many of the personalities of the campaign, weather conditions for each hour of the battle and the best-informed estimates available on unit strengths and casualties, for horses as well as humans, during the campaign.New York educator Albert Nofi appeared frequently as a radio and TV military commentator during the Persian Gulf War, always balancing the grand principles of command against the individual human drama. He is the author of numerous books, including The Spanish American War 1898, The Marine Corps Book of Lists, and The War Against Hitler.
