The Battle of Wavre - ten miles from Waterloo - may have sealed Napoleon's fate. The dazzling magnitude of the great battle of Waterloo itself has obscured a part of the campaign which is seldom studied - the battle against Thielemann, and Grouchy's skilful retreat from Wavre. This classic account serves useful lessons because the operations leading up to the battle around Wavre are of great interest; and because a campaign full of mistakes should be studied as carefully as a campaign free from error. The long struggle of the Napoleonic wars famously culminated in the Battle of Waterloo. Undoubtedly Napoleon Bonaparte's greatest defeat, this engagement would signal the end of the French emperor's 100-day return from exile.

The story of the French Army that never arrived at Waterloo Almost everybody who is interested in the Battle of Waterloo knows that the campaign began auspiciously for Napoleon. The Prussian Army under Blucher was first engaged and it suffered a savaging at Ligny after which it retreated. After Quatre Bras Wellington's allied army retreated and took position on the ridge before Waterloo-Blucher, harassed by Grouchy retreated towards Wavre. Though thoroughly mauled, the Prussian Army embodied no spirit of defeat and so was not-as Napoleon or Grouchy believed-an army in flight but a grim, avenging and lethal force undertaking a sweeping manoeuvre which would bring it as promised-just in time-onto the momentous field of battle slamming into the right flank of the French Army to ensure victory and an end to an epoch. Most histories of this campaign concentrate on the action that took place over the fields between Genappe and Mont St. Jean. Grouchy's part in the campaign is often considered as no more than 'noises off' and a footnote about lack of resolve and lost opportunity. This book investigates Grouchy's actions and the activities of his Prussian enemy-and explains why this luckless marshal did not 'march to the sound of the guns.' Available in soft cover and hard cover with dust jacket for collectors.
