On the Fields of Glory: The Battlefields of the 1815 Campaign by Andrew Uffindell and Michael Corum.

Published by Greenhill Books, 2002. 360 pages.

Softcover in excellent condition. Has a very neat inscription to previous owner inside, but I don't think its ever been read. This is a duplicate I mistakenly acquired along the way, which is why I haven't read this book either...but I've read my copy and can highly recommend it.

This history of the 1815 campaign provides a stimulating account of the epic confrontation at Waterloo and, in addition, acts as a guide to the battlefield and all related sites. The authors have divided the battlefield of Waterloo into three distinct sectors: one for each of the three armies involved. This allows the reader to follow the fighting from three different perspectives and gain an understanding of the dramatic course of the battle. The authors also make use of vivid eyewitness testimony, drawn from participants in all three armies, and this brings to life the epic battle and provides a dramatic backcloth to the rapid course of events. Letters from British officers, the recollections of a Dutch-Belgian staff officer and the memoirs of a French colonel of cuirassiers all contribute to an understanding of just what it was like to fight in one of Europe's most crucial confrontations. In addition to covering Waterloo itself, this book also examines the tense situation in Brussels as the French drew near, the aftermath of the battle, the battle at Wavre, the Prussian pursuit and Marshal Grouchy's stubborn defence of Namur.
