Au Pas de Charge!: Napoleon's Cavalry at Waterloo 2015

4.5/5 ( ratings)

Not another Waterloo Book? Waterloo is perhaps one of the most famous battles in history and one of the least researched. In this bicentennial year, is there anything new to say on the battle? Paul L Dawson thinks so. His new and often ground-breaking research shows that well-known Waterloo events are often myth and not fact, and presents the results of over a decade's research in archives and libraries across Europe, presenting many first-hand accounts of the battle which add new insights to the battle. Discover the role played by the French cavalry during the Waterloo campaign, from period eye-witness accounts and testimonies. This unique series, using over 400 archival accounts of Waterloo, many not being in print before, bring the battle of Waterloo to life in a dramatic way in the two volumes that deal with the British and French cavalry forces in the battle . This series of complementary books by Paul L Dawson, a postgraduate of the University of Leeds with an MA in historical research as well as being an noted equestrian, brings to light new ground-breaking research into the study of cavalry in the Napoleonic wars. No similar study has been undertaken since Valentine Wood's partial study at the turn of the 20th century. The author's work goes far deeper, and using material overlooked by Wood, primarily French as well as archive sources, overturns a lot of the received wisdom on Napoleonic cavalry, its battlefield performance and theoretical training.
