À propos de cette écoute
The first of two ground-breaking volumes on the Waterloo campaign, this audiobook is based upon a detailed analysis of sources old and new in four languages. It highlights the political stresses between the Allies, the problems of feeding and paying for the Allied forces assembling in Belgium during the undeclared war and how a strategy was thrashed out.
It studies the neglected topic of how the Allies beyond the Rhine hampered the plans of Blücher and Wellington, thus allowing Napoleon to snatch the initiative from them. Napoleon's operational plan is likewise analysed and the way in which Soult misinterpreted it and accounts from both sides help provide a vivid impression of the fighting on the first day, 15 June. This volume ends with the joint battles of Ligny and Quatre Bras the next day.

Good insight in war logistics and diplomatics
This is NOT a book for someone who wants to learn in a shellnut about the 100 days of Napoleon in 1815.
But this is a nice book for someone who wants to know more in depth how during war in the Napoleonic era, agreements were made on logistics and on cooperation. It gives a view on the problems of communications, on the impact of personal relationships on the war proceedings.
The story on the military operations requires that the listener looks at the different maps (available in the PDF annex) before starting to listen. Otherwise it is difficult to imagine what is happening in the field.
At some moments the enumeration of elements can be disturbing when one is listening.
I'm awaiting the audioversion of volume II.
