Summary
This book examines the Battle of Waterloo through French sources and perspectives, offering an alternative view to the traditionally Anglo-centric accounts of Napoleon's final defeat. Andrew W. Field draws on French military records, memoirs, and eyewitness testimonies to present how French commanders and soldiers experienced and understood the battle. The work provides insight into French tactical decisions, the challenges faced by Napoleon's army, and how the French interpreted their loss, making it a valuable resource for understanding this pivotal 1815 battle from both sides.
