About this Item

Print on Demand. This book explores the strategic blunder of Napoleon's Waterloo campaign, focusing on 15th June 1815's passage of the Sambre, an event often overlooked by historians in their rush to recount the famous battle that followed. The author provides a detailed account of the day's skirmishes at Frasnes and Gilly, highlighting the military maneuvers of both sides. The text further analyzes Napoleon's ultimate failure, not at Waterloo, but at Ligny, tracing the series of miscommunications, poor decisions, and misconceptions that led to the downfall of the French army. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
