The entire campaign from the pen of knowledge and experience There have been numerous histories of the Waterloo campaign since those memorable days in June,1815. Others had reported it before Gleig applied himself to the task and his reasons for feeling he could bring a worthwhile new perspective to the subject are worth noting. He was an accomplished author on military matters and men of the Napoleonic age. He had served under Wellington himself as an officer of infantry during the Peninsular War. He had access to British soldiers of all ranks for information and knew the Duke personally. Mostly he felt he was well placed to describe what it actually was to experience and how men truly reacted during a battle of his time. His work does not simply concentrate on the battle but gives a well rounded view of the campaign including those engagements where British forces were not involved. A very worthwhile addition to the library of Waterloo histories.
