The Battle of Quatre Bras 1815

Founded on a wealth of primary source material, this is a unique account of a largely forgotten but highly significant conflict that resulted in Napoleon failing in his strategic objective of separating and defeating the Allied armies. Largely based on eye-witness accounts, unpublished documents, and other material from all the participating nations, and based on years of exhaustive research, this study challenges long-held assumptions and brings the battle to life in a dramatic, human style.
