About this Item

Hardcover. What better way to 'read' the momentous Battle of Waterloo than to follow the movements of the main military commanders on that fateful day (18 June 1815). For the British side of the action, we dog the footsteps, and learn about the decisions and actions of The Duke of Wellington. For the French perspective we follow both Napoleon Bonaparte and his right-hand man Marshal Ney, who in fact played the more critical role. Gillespie-Payne, a professor and former UK military officer, verifies that the leadership and actions of the main protagonists, Wellington, Napoleon, and Marshall Ney, dictated the outcome of the 1805 Battle of Waterloo. He studies in detail not only their movements and decisions on the battlefield but their characters and careers before and after Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
