Waterloo is one of the most famous battles in history and it has
given rise to a vast and varied literature. The strategy and
tactics of the battle and the entire Waterloo campaign have been
analysed at length. The commanders, manoeuvres and critical
episodes, and the intense experiences of the men who took part,
have all been recorded in minute detail. But the organization,
structure and fighting strength of the armies that fought in the
battle have received less attention, and this is the subject of
Philip Haythornthwaite\'s detailed, authoritative and engaging
study. Through a close description of the structure and personnel
of each of the armies he builds up a fascinating picture of their
makeup, their methods and their capabilities. The insight he offers
into the contrasting styles and national characteristics of the
forces that came together on the Waterloo battlefield gives a fresh
perspective on the extraordinary clash of arms that ended the
Napoleonic era.
