4.0 out of 5 stars
an excellent overview by an admirer of Wellington,
By A Customer
This review is from: Wellington at Waterloo (Greenhill Military Paperback) (Paperback)
A relatively concise review of the Waterloo campaign by an author who has spent a professional lifetime studying the Duke of Wellington. Highly readable, well paced and and without an excess of detail. Written, however, from an very British point of view by someone who regards the Duke as one of the most compentent commanders in history. He makes that case well in this book.

One of the best on Waterloo,
By A Customer
This review is from: Wellington at Waterloo (Greenhill Military Paperback) (Paperback)
Having read many books on Wellington and the Battle of Waterloo, I find this to be one of the best. A further indication of its quality and value to students of the campaign is the fact that Bernard Cornwell, author of the Sharpe novels, listed this as one of his primary sources.

A thorough, detailed and authoritive tome.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Wellington at Waterloo (Greenhill Military Paperback) (Paperback)
The history surrounding this famous battle in Belgium and the personalities involved are legend. Weller has produced a masterpiece that defines the smaller movements, fills incredible detail that other historians have glossed over, and provides a very human face to all parties including the 'cold' British generals and their Prussian counterparts. Weller provides information on subtle changes in terrain and the purpose behind troop movements, or often lack of them, whilst narrating portions of the battlefield events. Weller also sheds important light upon the minor nations troops and commanders, showing how they were influenced by their years of duty under the French regime and how they too were able to withstand the French onslaught. This reprint is especially welcome as the book should have been classic reading for a generation of amateur historians and wargamers, except for the fact of its limited availability. Highly recommended from one Napoleonic researcher to all historians and gamers no matter what their 'nationality' or preference.
