Until now, there has been no study of the significant errors that Napoleon made himself which, though apparently trivial at the time, proved to be major factors in his downfall. Digby Smith tracks his rise to power, his stewardship of France from 180415, and his exile. He highlights his military mistakes, such as his unwillingness to appoint an effective overall supremo in the Iberian Peninsula, and the decision to invade Russia while the Spanish situation was spiralling out of control.

So great is the weight of reading on the subject of the Waterloo campaign that it might be thought there is nothing left to say about it, and from the military viewpoint, this is very much the case. But one critical aspect of the story has gone all but untold the French home front. Little has been written about the topic in English, and few works on Napoleon or Revolutionary and Napoleonic France pay it much attention. It is this conspicuous gap in the literature that Charles Esdaile explores in this erudite and absorbing study. Drawing on the vivid, revealing material that is available in the French archives, in the writings of soldiers who fought in France in 1814 and 1815 and in the memoirs of civilians who witnessed the fall of Napoleon or the Hundred Days, he gives us a fascinating new insight into the military and domestic context of the Waterloo campaign, the Napoleonic legend and the wider situation across Europe.

The Battle of Waterloo has become synonymous with the word “defeat” but who lost, and why was it important? In 1815, Napoleon Bonaparte left the island of Elba, and in a space of 100 days took power, and challenged the entire world to meet him on his terms. When that failed, he offered them a fight, one that would end at Waterloo, and left repercussions which can still be felt, even now, centuries later. Inside you will read about... ✓ Beginnings ✓ Discord and Discontent ✓ The World Rearranged ✓ The Prisoner ✓ The Journey to Waterloo Begins ✓ One Hundred Days ✓ Quatre Bras & Ligny And much more! Who was this man, and what happened on the battlefield that made this fight in particular, so important? What was the lesson of Waterloo?

A two-volume account of Napoleon s last campaign by Britain s pre-eminent military historian of the early 20th century. Writing a century after Waterloo, Becke claims that previous British authors have been too Anglocentric and biased against Bonaparte in their consideration of the campaign. As a result, he alleges, they have not appreciated the Emperor s brilliant tactics in his masterly yet simple battle plan. So Becke s book is written very much from Napoleon s point of view, and the Allied armies only appear in order to help the reader appreciate Napoleon s manoevres. An unashamed fan of Napoleon, - (he even dedicates his book, in French, to the Emperor of battles ) - Becke calls Bonaparte the greatest of all the Great Captains..the most famous of all Artillerymen and refers to the splendour of his world-wide fame. Becke cautions against hindsignt history in judging Napoleon, and explains his hero s downfall as being a result of the combined strength of the superior Allied forces ranged against him, and the treachery of Fouche, his Minister of Police, rather than his own shortcomings. Ere he fell writes Becke, Napoleon once more showed that he could handle his troops like an artist . This first volume takes the story of the Hundred Days from the Emperor s return from exile in Elba up to his despatch of the incompetent Marshal Grouchy to head off the Prussians while he faced Wellington at Waterloo. The book looks at Napoleon s strategy and tactics as well as his disposition of his Armee du Nord and the battles of Quatre Bras and Ligny. The second volume looks at the climactic confrontation between Napoleon and Wellington at Waterloo itself and has a number of appendices relating to the great battle, including orders of battle of the French, British, Dutch and Prussian forces engaged and correspondence between Napoleon and Marshals Soult, Davout, Ney and Grouchy. Both volumes are illustrated with four superbly reproduced colour maps. These two handsome books are a must for anyone interested in the Napoleonic wars, especially for those seeking an antidote to Wellington-worship and the denigration of his enemy.

Excerpt from The Downfall of Napoleon: His Escape From Elba, the Battle of Waterloo, Captivity in St. Helena, and Death; From Sir Walter Scott's Life of Napoleon Buonaparte From Sir Walter Scott's Life of Napoleon we have extracted, with some slight curtailment, the episode of those famous Hundred Days in which the Emperor made his final struggle for power. The Battle of Water loo, which forms the main incident, has been the theme of much paper warfare. Our great story-teller was sure to make the most of the patriotic and picturesque 'features; he had the advantage of visiting the field, and of conversing with officers engaged in the battle; and his spirited narrative may be accepted as essentially accurate. The main story is here introduced by the chapter dealing with Napoleon's life on Elba, and concludes with the account of his last days on St. Helena - the whole completing one of the most romantic and resounding episodes in modern history; which is here prefaced by a brief summary of the previous events in the life of this extraordinary man.

This is a masterly and concise reinterpretation of one of the seminal events in modern history, by one of the world's foremost military historians. The battle on Sunday 18th June 1815, near Waterloo, Belgium was to be Napoleon's greatest triumph - but it ended in one of the greatest military upsets of all time. Waterloo became a legend overnight and remains one of the most argued-over battles in history. Lord Wellington immortally dubbed it 'the nearest-run thing you ever saw in your life', but the British victory became iconic, a triumph of endurance that ensured a 19th century world in which Britain played the key role; it was also a defining moment for the French, bringing Napoleon I's reign to an end and closing the second Hundred Years' War. Alongside the great drama and powerful characters, Jeremy Black gives readers a fascinating look at where this battle belongs in the larger story of the tectonic power shifts in Europe, and the story of military modernisation. The result is a revelatory view of Waterloo's place in the broader historical arc. Black sets this battle in the context of warfare in the period, and not only that of Napoleonic Europe. He also uses Waterloo to explore the changing nature of war, the rise and fall of Napoleon's empire, and the influence of the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars on the 19th century. Drawing on all the latest scholarship, Jeremy Black brings this thrilling story - and the world in which it is set - vividly to life.
