Armies at Waterloo: A Detailed Analysis of the Armies That Fought History's Greatest Battle is an internationally highly regarded military history standard work by the American author Scott Bowden. It is regarded among historians, wargamers and uniform enthusiasts alike as one of the most precise reference works on the forces involved in the Waterloo campaign of 1815. The book is characterized above all by moving the pure narrative of the battle steps into the background and instead focusing on an meticulous, data-based analysis: • Exact Orders of Battle: Bowden lists in extreme detail the organizational structures of the three armies involved—the French Armée du Nord under Napoleon, the Allied Army under the Duke of Wellington, and the Prussian Army under Field Marshal Blücher. • Precise troop strengths: Unlike many older works, the book breaks down the exact number of officers and troops actually in service and under arms. • Artillery details: It provides a complete listing of the exact gun types, calibers, and limber wagons assigned to the individual batteries, companies, and detachments. Condition: light signs of wear on the cover, inside: clean and with firm binding
