Featured battle : Dennewitz

Part of The French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars

Date : 06 September 1813

Ney's advance on Berlin was blocked by part of Bernadotte's Allied Army of the North. While Ney's frontal attacks were held [just!] the French were hit with a strong flank attack. Ney's poor overall command of the battlefield caused him to split his force rather than concentrating to break the Allied centre or weaker flank. The French withdrew with very heavy losses.

Waterloo Archive Volume III: British Sources

Gareth Glover [Ed]
Just like the first two volumes another fascinating read. There are many many books which give one the strategy, and an over view of the action in the battle, some excellent in their way. But these volumes tell us, or more correctly the men themselves tell us, about real lives of real individuals who were involved in that momentous event. If you want to know who fought Quatre-Bras and Waterloo then these volumes tell you of some of the men. We can guess that most of the others, whose voices are not recorded, had similar varied lives. Also in the three British sourced volumes there are eight superb illustrations reproduced from William Mudford's history of Waterloo published in 1817.
If you want to know the men read these books.
