1815: The Waterloo Campaign: The German Victory: From Waterloo to the Fall of Napoleon (Greenhill Military Paperback)

Rating:
Summary: Overrated book
Review: This is revisionist history. It is not the first book to state that the Brits did not win Waterloo, nor will it be the last. The coverage of Waterloo is fixated only on the issue of Wellington's culpability in covering his tracks. The other irritating theme is that the Germans won Waterloo by sheer numbers of Germanic people represented in the campaign. For a full understanding of the roles played by the French, the Brits, the Dutch-Belgians, you'll have to look elsewhere. So how can this book be the definitive book on Waterloo?
