Abstract

The Duke of Wellington described the Battle of Waterloo as 'the most desperate business I ever was in .. I was never so near being beat'. The courage of British troops that day has been rightly praised ever since, but the fact that one-third of the forces which gave him his narrow victory were subjects, not of George III, but of the King of the Netherlands, has been almost completely ignored. This book seeks to correct a grave injustice through the study of Dutch sources - both primary and secondary - the majority of which have never been used by English-speaking historians.The Dutch-Belgians have been variously described as inexperienced, incompetent and cowardly, a rogue element in the otherwise disciplined Allied Army. It is only now being tentatively acknowledged that they alone saved Wellington from disaster at Quatre Bras. He had committed a strategic error in that, as Napoleon advanced, his own troops were scattered over a hundred kilometres of southern Belgium. Outnumbered three to one, the Netherlanders gave him time to concentrate his forces, and save Brussels from French occupation.0.

Abstract

1815. De verslagen Napoleon ontsnapt uit zijn verbanningsoord op Elba. Hij keert terug naar Parijs, grijpt opnieuw de macht en tracht nog een laatste keer zijn droom van het Keizerrijk waar te maken. Het worden honderd spannende en uiterst zenuwslopende dagen waarin hij alle mogelijke middelen aanwendt om de Europese vorstenhuizen van zich af te houden. Maar het eindigt opnieuw in oorlog. De honderd dagen krijgen een finale in Waterloo, in België. Daar worden de Fransen verslagen door Britse, Pruisische en Nederlandse troepen onder leiding van de hertog van Wellington. Toch zal Waterloo tot op heden geassocieerd worden met de overwonnene, niet met de overwinnaar. Er zijn maar weinig geschiedkundige feiten zo fel besproken als deze veldslag. Voor geen enkele gebeurtenis vindt men zoveel begeestering en passie bij geschiedschrijvers om de waarheid te verdraaien of om ze recht te doen. Johan Op de Beeck maakt minutieus een politieke en militaire analyse van Napoleons laatste regeerperiode en van een veldslag die de Europese geschiedenis heeft bepaald. Zijn benadering is uniek omdat ook de rol van de Belgen en de Nederlanders wordt belicht. De auteur toont aan dat hun inbreng cruciaal was. Ooggetuigenverslagen van soldaten die meevochten vormen daarbij een spannend relaas en verbeelden de apocalyps van deze unieke veldslag.
