From the back cover:

"Accounts of history's greatest conflicts, detailing the command strategies, tactics and battle experiences of the opposing forces throughout the crucial stages of each campaign."

"As the second instalment in a trilogy exploring the entire Waterloo campaign, the study tells the gripping story of the fighting at Ligny. It focuses on the desperate struggle for the tiny hamlets and villages dotted along the path of the Ligne brook to the south of Sombreffe, where the Prussians under Blücher were engaged with the French Army commanded by Napoleon. The Duke of Wellington was unable to come to the aid of his allies in time and the Prussian centre was overwhelmed as night closed in. With a monumental effort, the Prussian flanks were able to retreat in some semblance of order to Wavre, where they re-formed, ready to fight another day. Packed with stunning illustrations, and based on new research drawn from unpublished first-hand accounts, this volume sheds a new light on Napoleons last battlefield victory."
