"...an indispensable starting point for all future studies of the
British-Prussian side during the Waterloo campaign."-- "Michigan
War Studies Review"
"These two volumes represent a comprehensive study of the events of
1815 that surpasses all previous studies of the subject. Future
historians will be hard pressed to improve upon such a work! ...
Every stage of the story of 1815 is handled in great detail with
the author having used many sources, and every chapter presents new
information and tells the story of events in such a way that this
work is a veritable encyclopaedia of the subject... If your family
want to know what you want for Christmas, then make sure these two
books are at the top of your wish list."-- "The Waterloo
Journal"
"This is an outstanding, scholarly work that unearths many facts
about and facets of a subject long considered to have been full
explored. No serious student of this battle or, indeed, this epoch,
can afford to be without it."--Patrick Mercer "Military History
Monthly"
"John Hussey's study of the Waterloo campaign with its multiple
armies and multiple battles is monumental and magisterial. The
final word on Waterloo will never be written but this work is a
close run thing."--Dr. John Peaty, FRGS FRHistS
"A masterful study of command, control, communications, and even
intelligence of all the major combatants during the Waterloo
Campaign. Destined to become the gold standard for those studying
how armies were controlled and decisions made during the Waterloo
Campaign."--Robert Burnham, editor-in-chief, The Napoleonic Series
