Synopsis

Eighteen accounts of the battles that ended the Napoleonic epoch The Battle of Waterloo is one of the most famous battles -if not the most famous battle-in history. Many books have been written about Waterloo, and many first-hand accounts published, yet it continues to fascinate both students and casual readers alike. In this book, Frederick Llewellyn has gathered together a number of accounts that have hitherto slipped through the net, creating a book the contents of which will be entirely new to most modern readers. Among them: Major Frye has left us with a compelling account from 'behind the lines'; Sergeant Robertson recounts the fierce battle experienced by the Gordon Highlanders at Quatre Bras and Waterloo itself, whilst Sergeant-Major Dickinson-the last surviving Scots Grey who fought at Waterloo-takes us on that famous charge for which his regiment will forever be remembered. These, with the many others included here, are the forgotten voices of Waterloo-British, French, German and Spanish; great names and ordinary men, infantrymen and cavalrymen, generals and private soldiers, reaching across time-and united for the first time-in this important Leonaur original.
