About this title

Synopsis

Napoleon made a surprising choice of men to lead his final gamble in 1815. Some almost achieved victory, others created defeat. Napoleon's Generals: The Waterloo Campaign focuses of their early careers, strengths, weaknesses, and achievements as leaders.

In biographies of all the generals of division and higher ranking officers, author Toy Linck sheds light on the often ignored men who were largely responsible for implementing Napoleon's legendary style of warfare. These leaders were a diverse collection. Many were veterans of the Grand Armee and had earned their commands the hard way, while others were still trying to prove their worth. There were court favorites and disgraced men trying to fight their way back into the Imperial circle, and even a traitor to the empire. The survivors' careers are also covered after years of fame and glory game to a sudden and dramatic end.

In their stories are reflections and causes of the Grand Armee's strengths and surprising brittleness. Napoleon's Generals: The Waterloo Campaign is an invaluable guide for one of History's greatest campaigns.
