Tour de Force on Napoleon's Waterloo

No in depth description of the Waterloo campaign has been written for a hundred years and these two volumes have been anticipated with excitement, given John Hussey's renown. There is no other description for John Hussey's two volume set than a ‘tour de force' and certainly regarding the political as well as military build up, set out in volume one, it is difficult to see how anyone will ever better it. This is not surprising given John's lifelong interest in the politics and grand strategy of the build up to the campaign and is truly superb.
