PETER HOFSCHRÖER, A specialist in Napoleonic history and the author of the award-winning study 18 15: The Waterloo Campaign, wrote this book in an attempt to right a perceived injustice. It is a work of remarkably skillful historical investigation, and its findings may well dismay the Duke of Wellington’s many admirers.
