accounts and regimental reports Covers the battles of Waterloo, Wavre
and the taking of Paris Peter Hofschrer, in this second volume of his
masterly study of 1815, challenges the accepted version of events at
the battle of Waterloo. He demonstrtaes convincingly that Allied

French, but to the timely arrival of Prussian troops who stole
victory from Napoleon and sealed the fate of the last Grande Arme.
Drawing on previously unpublished accounts, Hofschrer gives not only
the Prussian perspective of their march to Waterloo and decisive
attack on Napoleons flank, but also details of the actions fought by
some of the 25,000 Germans in Wellingtons British armymore than a
third of the Dukes force. A gripping narrative of astonishing detail
captures such key episodes of Waterloo as La Haye Sainte, Papelotte,
Hougoumont and the Prussian struggle with the Imperial Guard for
Plancenoit. In addition, Hofschrer examines the battle at Wavre, the
Allied offensive into France, the taking of Paris and the sieges
across northern France. 1815: The Waterloo CampaignThe German Victory
is a definitive work on an epic confrontation by one of todays
leading military writers.
