It highlights the political stresses between the Allies, and their resolution; it studies the problems of feeding and paying for 250,000 Allied forces assembling in Belgium during the 'undeclared war', and how a strategy was thrashed out. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt studies the neglected topic of how the slow and discordant Allies beyond the Rhine hampered the plans of Bl cher and Wellington, thus allowing Napoleon to snatch the initiative from them. Napoleon's operational plan is analyzed (and Soult's mistakes in executing it). Accounts from both sides help provide a vivid impression of the fighting on the first day, 15 June, and the volume ends with the joint battles of Ligny and Quatre Bras the next day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Hussey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1784384941\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781784384944\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Greenhill Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/13\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 736\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 2.20d","brand":"John Hussey","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43978329751807,"sku":"9781784384944","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_28f13861-ce1c-4410-89ca-8614dad697ab.jpg?v=1683240938","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/waterloo-john-hussey-9781784384944","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
