| Publisher Description: This early work is a fascinating read for any war historian, amateur and professional alike. A thoroughly engaging collection of notes taken each evening after the scenes and events of the day were over by the compiler's father during the 1815 Waterloo Campaign. Readers will be delighted with insight that this journal provides on a bygone age. Far from being another fact-based account of military operations, here is the diary of the writer's personal impressions of time spent in the army - 'the tedium of out-quarters, the fatigues of the march, and the hardships of the bivouac'. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork. |
