Waterloo, The Downfall Of The First Napoleon: A History Of The Campaign Of 1815 by George Hooper. This two-volume history traces Napoleon's return from Elba, the Allied response, the Belgian campaign, and the decisive battles of Ligny, Quatre Bras, and Waterloo, followed by the Allied invasion of France, Napoleon's abdication, and the Restoration's aftermath. The narrative blends political and military analysis, examining how the Allied coalition coordinated across Vienna and how Wellington and Blucher's plans formed a joint strategy, while detailing Napoleon's miscalculations and the strategic realities that led to his downfall. It includes close attention to army formations, dispositions, leadership, and the broader European consequences, including the restoration of Louis XVIII and the later revival of Bonapartism. The work employs maps and plans to illustrate operations and presents a critical interpretation that Napoleon embodied French imperial ambitions. It aims to be accessible to general readers, combining evidence with disciplined historical analysis.
