Pictures shown actual book for sale Dust Jacket Good, Book Like NewProduct InformationMajor Richard Llewellyn, who fought at Quatre Bras, wrote in 1837 that, 'Had it not been so closely followed by the... victory of Waterloo, perhaps the gallant exploits and unexampled bravery that marked that day would... have excited even more admiration than was actually associated with it.' This book stands out from the wealth of Napoleonic literature in that it is the first English-language account to focus solely on the battle of Quatre Bras. It is based upon extensive research and in many cases unpublished personal accounts from all participating countries, as well as a detailed topographic, aerial survey of the battlefield. These combine to provide a highly personal, balanced and authoritative work. The author unravels the controversies of a battle where commanders made errors of omission and commission and where cowardice rubbed shoulders with heroism. This is the story of a battle that turned a campaign; of triumph and disaster. It is a story of two great generals, but more importantly, of the intense human experience of those that they led. It is a book that will appeal to both the scholar and the generalist.Product IdentifiersPublisherThe history Press LtdISBN-139781862272903eBay Product ID (ePID)88408560Product Key FeaturesAuthorMike RobinsonPublication NameThe Battle of Quatre Bras 1815FormatHardcoverLanguageEnglishSubjectHistoryPublication Year2009TypeTextbookNumber of Pages400 PagesDimensionsItem Height250mmItem Width180mmItem Weight1180gAdditional Product FeaturesTitle_AuthorMike RobinsonCountry/Region of ManufactureUnited Kingdom, Gut, Festpreisangebot, [LT: FixedPrice], Bestes Angebot, [LT: BestOffer], Personalised: No, Publication Name: The Battle of Quatre Bras 1815, Custom Bundle: No, Subject: History, Publication Year: 2009, Type: Textbook, Format: Hardcover, Language: English, Item Height: 250mm, Features: 1st Edition, Dust Jacket, Illustrated, Country/Region of Manufacture: United Kingdom, Item Width: 180mm, Item Weight: 1180g, Number of Pages: 400 Pages, The history Press Ltd<
