Download or read book Waterloo: Rout & Retreat written by Andrew W. Field and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This book covers the least familiar part of the Waterloo campaign—the French retreat in the aftermath of the battle . . . a splendid study.” —History of War 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 first-hand record of their experiences and the range of their reactions, from those who deserted the colours and made their way home, to those who continued to serve faithfully when all was lost. Napoleon’s 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. “A fine conclusion to Andrew Field’s series of books on the Hundred Days’ Campaign that offers a rather different perspective on the subject and is a book all serious Napoleonic wargamers will surely wish to add to their libraries.” —Miniature Wargames

Book Synopsis The Battle of Wavre and Grouchy's Retreat: A Study of an Obscure Part of the Waterloo Campaign by : William Hyde Kelly
Download or read book The Battle of Wavre and Grouchy's Retreat: A Study of an Obscure Part of the Waterloo Campaign written by William Hyde Kelly and published by Naval & Military Press. This book was released on 2023-08-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Battle of Wavre - ten miles from Waterloo - may have sealed Napoleon's fate. The dazzling magnitude of the great battle of Waterloo itself has obscured a part of the campaign which is seldom studied - the battle against Thielemann, and Grouchy's skilful retreat from Wavre. This classic account serves useful lessons because the operations leading up to the battle around Wavre are of great interest; and because a campaign full of mistakes should be studied as carefully as a campaign free from error. The long struggle of the Napoleonic wars famously culminated in the Battle of Waterloo. Undoubtedly Napoleon Bonaparte's greatest defeat, this engagement would signal the end of the French emperor's 100-day return from exile.

Book Synopsis Waterloo Battlefield Guide by : David Buttery
Download or read book Waterloo Battlefield Guide written by David Buttery and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2018-07-30 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much of the material available to readers in the English language interested in the exploits of the troops of Hanover, Brunswick and Nassau is in the form of dry official reports, which stick to the basic facts and avoid all sentimentality and emotion. However, unbeknown to virtually anyone in the English-speaking world interested in the more human aspects of these 'foreign' troops fighting alongside the British at Waterloo, there are a number of memoirs and sets of letters, which have been published in Germany over the last two centuries. Until now, these had never been translated into English and so have been inaccessible to the vast majority. This volume seeks to put this right and to bring to life the human story of these German troops their trials and tribulations, their sufferings and their emotions and to finally reveal their views on the battle which many entered with mixed emotions. Highlights include an account of the confusion in the final great advance at Waterloo; eyewitness recollections of the defense of La Haye Sainte; rare battle reports by the Duke of Wellington; and a fascinating series of letters explaining the whereabouts of a number of 'missing' Hanoverian regimental and staff surgeons and subsequent court martials.
Book Synopsis Grouchy's Waterloo by : Andrew W. Field
Download or read book Grouchy's Waterloo written by Andrew W. Field and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2017-04-30 with total page 483 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An interesting approach to this part of the Waterloo campaign . . . a picture of a capable officer who was perhaps slightly out of his depth.”—HistoryOfWar In this concluding volume of his highly praised study exploring the French perspective of the Waterloo campaign, Andrew Field concentrates on an often-neglected aspect of Napoleon’s final offensive—the French victory over the Prussians at Ligny, Marshal Grouchy’s pursuit of the Prussians, and the battle at Wavre. The story of this side of the campaign is as full of controversy and interest as the battles of Quatre Bras and Waterloo which he has examined in such a penetrating and original way in his previous studies. Napoleon in his memoirs accused Grouchy, like Marshal Ney, of a series of failures in command that led to the French defeat, and many subsequent historians have taken the same line. This is one of the long-standing controversies that Andrew Field explores in fascinating detail. Grouchy’s extensive description of his operations forms the backbone of the narrative, supplemented by other French sources and those of Prussian eyewitnesses. “This book, when taken by itself, is a great addition to the history of the campaign. When looked at in conjunction as the third volume of four on the campaign, these books are a treasure trove of information from the French perspective.”—A Wargamers Needful Things “The research has been thorough, the style of writing clear and lucid with many maps and illustrations. A book not to be put down until it is finished. Very highly recommended.”—Clash of Steel
Book Synopsis Waterloo Casualties by : Paul L. Dawson
Download or read book Waterloo Casualties written by Paul L. Dawson and published by Fonthill Media. This book was released on 2024-06-03 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: — Draws on newly discovered eyewitness accounts from Prussian sources to present new insights into the battle and new areas of combat — Studies the battle from the unexplored perspective of General Drouet d’Erlon, one of Napoleon’s key subordinates — Focuses on the lesser-known engagements between the French and Prussians, for which new archaeological evidence has been discovered — Examines death certificates issued for French officers and men on the day of the battle to suggest it was not the ‘bloodbath’ it is often thought to have been — The result of twenty years of research in archives in France and German Historians have sought reasons why Napoleon lost the great battle at Waterloo, seen by many as the most famous conflict of the nineteenth century. Waterloo Casualties presents the litany of failures by one of Napoleon’s key subordinates, General Drouet d’Erlon, which ultimately led to defeat, and explores for the first time what really happened at Hougoumont, La Haye Sainte, and on the French right wing as the Prussians closed in. The actions between Papelotte and Frichermont were critical in the story of the battle, but have, so far, been seldom studied as no red-coated soldiers fought there. They come under scrutiny in Dawson’s meticulous analysis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The military historian and expert on the Waterloo campaign presents a fascinating selection of firsthand accounts never before published in English. Andrew Field has written several important volumes on the Battle of Waterloo from the French perspective. Now he takes his pioneering work a step further by publishing these accounts, with all their vivid and personal detail, in full. This volume features Napoleons own description of the battle, as well as those of his immediate household, the Imperial headquarters, and members of 1st Corps. Readers can now engage with these crucial firsthand perspectives and compare them to those of the allied armies. They will also gain insight into the trauma that the French eyewitnesses went through as they tried to explain how they lost a battle they claim they had been on the point of winning. Napoleons own version of events, one of the first to be published in France, was used as the basis of many subsequent histories that ignore or gloss over his many dubious claims. His account of his actions on that decisive day, and the accounts of his close associates, make fascinating reading.

Book Synopsis Wellington's Waterloo Allies by : Andrew W. Field
Download or read book Wellington's Waterloo Allies written by Andrew W. Field and published by Pen and Sword Military. This book was released on 2022-05-05 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For almost 200 years, the British perception of the Battle of Waterloo was that it was a great British victory gained over the French tyrant Napoleon which was achieved in spite of, rather than because of, the allied contingents in the Duke of Wellington’s army. Eyewitness accounts by British soldiers, encouraged by the doubts expressed in Wellington’s despatches, denigrated and vilified the courage and prowess of these allies. But in the last twenty years modern historians, with better access to the accounts and archives of the allied nations, have tried to put the record straight, and their efforts have been rewarded by changing attitudes and a greater understanding of the significant part the allies played. Andrew Field, in this the latest of his series of pioneering books on Waterloo, makes a powerful contribution to this continuing debate by analyzing in forensic detail the records of these allied forces throughout the campaign. In his balanced, nonpartisan reassessment he describes the make-up of these forces, their training and experience, and their military capability. Included are graphic accounts of their actions and performance on the battlefield. His work is essential reading for all students of the Waterloo campaign.
