The Waterloo Campaign begins with Napoleon's return from exile in February 1815 to his defeat and final exile to St. Helena in August. The Waterloo campaign consisted of three major battles: Ligny, Quatre Bras and Waterloo. Mr. Nofi covers all three battles. He uses 16 maps to show troop positions at different times of the battles. His detailed narrative follows movements and combats of units on both sides, noting numbers of men and guns involved. Includes complete OOBs in the appendices. Mr. Nofi also provides sidebar discussions of Napoleonic topics such as Musketry, The Horse at War, and Artillery of the Waterloo Campaign, and personalities such as Sir Thomas Picton, William, Prince of Orange and Michel Ney.
