Journal Of The Waterloo Campaign

Journal Of The Waterloo Campaign

Journal of the Waterloo Campaign is one of the most eloquent and impressive first-hand accounts of Napoleon Bonaparteâ€™s dramatic demise.

It is a true classic of the literature of the Napoleonic Wars.

Taking us from the lulls and hard marching in Belgium and France, to the battle of Quatre Bras (where Mercer fired a few rounds at Napoleon himself), and finally to the ferocious fighting at Waterloo and Mercerâ€™s own bold contribution to the larger Allied victory.

'The book is essential for any study of the Waterloo campaign' â€“ Philip J. Haythornthwaite, leading military historian.

Captain Cavalie Mercer (1783-1868), commander of G troop of the Royal Horse Artillery in Wellingtonâ€™s army, was a skilled writer who recorded the dayâ€™s events each evening in vivid and poetic detail. Never before or since has the experience of the entire campaign been brought so thoroughly to life.
