About the book

The Waterloo Campaign presents Napoleon Bonaparte's perspective on the dramatic military campaign that ended his rule in 1815. After escaping exile on Elba and returning to power in France, Napoleon attempted to defeat the allied armies before they could combine against him. The narrative examines the movements and decisions leading to the battles of Quatre Bras, Ligny and ultimately Waterloo. Offering the campaign from Napoleon's own viewpoint gives the work particular historical interest, allowing readers to consider how he interpreted the strategy, setbacks and defeat that brought the Hundred Days to an end.
