No-one knows more about the Waterloo Campaign than John Hussey, and this extraordinary book is the culmination of his life’s work in Napoleonic War studies. He is able to deal with the big geo-strategic overview of the Hundred Days but also the arcane and intricate issues such as the d’Erlon Fiasco with equally masterly comprehensiveness. It will be decades before this book is superseded as the best account of those extraordinary events of 1815.’

This is a first hand account of a German pow at the hands of the Russians.... It is a harrowing tale but one that should be read and understood.
It has an easy flow to it and also told without bravado and is told exactly as it happened.
This is really recommended as an alternative to what you read from everyday books that don't deal with how the German pow were treated.

The letters contained in this book, corroborated by other letters and the description of the battle of Cambrai written in the 1930s by De Pree, show a little known figure, grown in the shadow of his illustrious relative, Douglas Haig. But they also give us a vision of a whole maze of human relationships and affection that is often overlooked in official stories. And this book shows us some figures as we have never seen them, in their weaknesses and their feelings, this is very important to complete an investigation into who was the Haig man and his nephew, Hugo De Pree.
