Description
Waterloo Casualties by Paul L. Dawson presents a fresh perspective on one of history's most pivotal battles. Dawson delves into the critical failures of General Drouet d'Erlon, a key subordinate to Napoleon, which ultimately led to defeat at Waterloo. Through newly uncovered source material in Paris archives, the author explores the campaign from Erlon's viewpoint, shedding light on overlooked aspects of the battle's strategic decisions and impact. This book offers a detailed analysis of the battle, focusing on previously understudied events such as the actions between Papelotte and Frischermont. By examining key strategic decisions made by Erlon during the four-day campaign, Dawson provides a nuanced understanding of one of the most significant military engagements of the last 500 years.
