In the two hundred years since the Battle of Waterloo countless
studies examining almost every aspect of this momentous event have
been published - narratives of the campaign, graphic accounts of
key stages in the fighting or of the role played by a regiment or
by an individual who was there - an eyewitness. But what has not
been written is an in-depth study of a division, one of the larger
formations that made up the armies on that decisive battlefield,
and that is exactly the purpose of Philip Haythornthwaite's
original and highly readable new book. He concentrates on the
famous Fifth Division, commanded by Sir Thomas Picton, which was a
key element in Wellington's Reserve. The experiences of this
division form a microcosm of those of the entire army. Vividly,
using a range of first-hand accounts, the author describes the
actions of the officers and men throughout this short, intense
campaign, in particular their involvement the fighting at Quatre
Bras and at Waterloo itself.
