Description

Major Richard Llewellyn, who fought at Quatre Bras, wrote in 1837 that, 'Had it not been so closely followed by the... victory of Waterloo, perhaps the gallant exploits and unexampled bravery that marked that day would... have excited even more admiration than was actually associated with it.'This book stands out from the wealth of Napoleonic literature in that it is the first English-language account to focus solely on the battle of Quatre Bras.

It is based upon extensive research and in many cases unpublished personal accounts from all participating countries, as well as a detailed topographic, aerial survey of the battlefield.

These combine to provide a highly personal, balanced and authoritative work.

The author unravels the controversies of a battle where commanders made errors of omission and commission and where cowardice rubbed shoulders with heroism.

This is the story of a battle that turned a campaign; of triumph and disaster.

It is a story of two great generals, but more importantly, of the intense human experience of those that they led.

It is a book that will appeal to both the scholar and the generalist.
