The story of the Battle of Waterloo - of the ultimate defeat of
Napoleon and the French, the triumph of Wellington, Bl cher and
their allied armies - is most often told from the viewpoint of the
victors, not the vanquished. Even after 200 years of intensive
research and the publication of hundreds of books and articles on
the battle, the French perspective and many of the primary French
sources are under-represented in the written record. So it is high
time this weakness in the literature - and in our understanding of
the battle - was addressed, and that is the purpose of Andrew
Field's thought-provoking new study. He has tracked down over
ninety first-hand French accounts, many of which have never been
previously published in English, and he has combined them with
accounts from the other participants in order to create a graphic
new narrative of one of the world's decisive battles. Virtually all
of the hitherto unpublished testimony provides fascinating new
detail on the battle and many of the accounts are vivid, revealing
and exciting. .
