Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - A telling account from a soldier of FranceThis anonymously written account tells of the experiences of a French soldier during the Waterloo campaign. It of course recounts the events of those momentous days from the raising of the French forces and their march to Belgium, to the Battle at Ligny, the conflict before Mont St. Jean (the author's own name for the battle), the defeat and the rout that followed and led to the fall of Paris.

The original publishers have augmented the authors text with the inclusion of several dispatches penned by notable participants after the battle. Available in softcover and hardcover with dust jacket for collectors.…
