Waterloo, New Perspectives - The Great Battle Reappraised by David Hamilton-Williams |
The trend nowadays is to re-assess, with new information constantly becoming available, familiar and well-worn historical issues. This book refreshes the memory about Waterloo and gives excellent background information. Unfortunately, the author constantly refers to books as yet unpublished, which will follow this one as a trilogy. Frustrating if you read and follow-up footnotes and academically unsound. But for those who think this is quibbling - a dramatic and exciting read with the promise of more.
