Previously unpublished eyewitness accounts and battle reports German; British; and Dutch archive material published for the first time Controversial reassessment of the whole campaign Here is a unique reassessment of the Hundred Days and a powerful analysis of the epic confrontation at Waterloo. The first of two volumes; this study is a thoroughly researched examination of the opening moves of the campaign from a new perspective based on evidence never before presented to an English-speaking audience. Hofschrer arrives at far-reaching conclusions about the controversial theory that the Duke of Wellington deceived his Prussian alliesand all subsequent historians of the campaign. By presenting events from the perspective of the Germans; the author undermines the traditional view of the campaign as one fought out by the French and the British and reveals the crucial role of troops from Prussia and the German states.

Not What I Had ExpectedBy CustomerOrdered this because I thought it would be more like the t.v. show; ' Home Fires' as this is the book that it is "based" on. More of a story. This book is more academic and a history of the Women's Institute in the U.K. Somewhat interesting; but kind of dull too. I think if you were a member of that organization you would find it interesting.
