GROUCHY'S WATERLOO: The Battles of Ligny and Wavre

2-221010

This concluding volume of a study exploring the French perspective of the Waterloo campaign covers the final offensive the French victory over the Prussians at Ligny and Marshal Grouchy's pursuit of the Prussians and the battle at Wavre. Grouchy's extensive description of his operations forms the backbone of the narrative, supplemented by other French sources and those of Prussian eyewitnesses. Napoleon in his memoirs accused Grouchy, like Marshal Ney, of a series of failures in command that led to the French defeat, and many subsequent historians took the same line.
