The Campaign of Waterloo: A Military History
Third Edition
John Codman Ropes, a Boston lawyer and military historian, published The Campaign of Waterloo in 1892, and this is the third edition. Ropes follows the campaign of June 1815 day by day: Napoleon's plan, the French and allied armies, the opening moves of the fifteenth, the battles of Ligny and Quatre Bras on the sixteenth, the pursuit and the fateful orders to Grouchy on the seventeenth, and Waterloo itself. Each chapter is followed by notes that weigh the evidence and the claims of earlier writers. Ropes is concerned above all with decisions, why they were made and what they cost, and he writes with legal precision. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
