This book a facsimile reproduction of a contemporary account of the battle of Waterloo; packed with first-hand accounts and official reports. The first section is a narrative description of the campaign followed by various personal interpretations of the battle; including letters from such notables as the Duke of Wellington. This is followed by the official reports of the battle from all sides; including the various orders of the day issued to the different armies; the official gazette sent by Wellington and the first-hand accounts of French marshals such as Ney and Grouchy. The book concludes with sobering lists of the killed and wounded; those honoured after the battle and obituaries of the more prominent figures. The book features two beautifully detailed concertina-fold maps; one giving an overview of the campaign as a whole and the other detailing the positions on the battlefield itself. In addition to this there is a detailed panorama of the battlefield; done in pen and ink that is arranged in two six-part folded sections in the middle of the book.
