Description

The Battle of Waterloo Allies: A New Perspective For nearly two centuries, the British view of the Battle of Waterloo has been that it was a great British victory, achieved in spite of the contributions of the allied forces in the Duke of Wellington's army. However, recent historical research has challenged this narrative, revealing the significant role played by soldiers from Brunswick, Hanover, Nassau, and the Netherlands. This book provides a detailed analysis of the allied forces, their training, experience, and military capability, shedding new light on their actions and performance on the battlefield. Andrew Field's balanced and nonpartisan reassessment offers a fresh perspective on the Waterloo campaign, one that is essential reading for anyone interested in the subject. By examining the records of the allied forces, Field provides a nuanced understanding of their contributions to the ultimate victory. Through graphic accounts and meticulous research, Field's work provides a compelling and authoritative study of the allied forces at Waterloo, one that will be of great interest to historians and anyone looking to deepen their understanding of this pivotal event in European history.
