A great conflict-a classic account
A battle as momentous as Waterloo could do nothing other than
attract the repeated attention of historians of all nationalities
for decades after the last smoke had cleared from above its bloody
field. Whilst battles are many, rarely do they bring down empires
and emperors casting epochs to the ground with them. Yet, within
comparatively modern times such was the Battle Waterloo and the
campaign of 1815. History, it is said, is always written by the
victors and that is generally true. However, in Henry Houssaye,
both the French nation and international academia is fortunate in
possessing an historian of superb talent, thoroughness and ability
to communicate his ideas coherently and entertainingly to his
readers-both professional and amateur. Houssaye's enduring
histories of the latter stages of the Napoleonic Age require little
introduction to those interested in the period. They are
acknowledged classics and this book is one of their number. Leonaur
also publish Houssaye's renowned predecessor to this book, Napoleon
and the Campaign of 1814 which documents the campaigns to the first
abdication and restoration of the Bourbon monarchy. Both are
available in soft cover and hard cover with dust jacket for
collectors.
