The bloodbath at Waterloo ended a war that had engulfed the world for over twenty years. It also finished the career of the charismatic Napoleon Bonaparte. It ensured the final liberation of Germany and the restoration of the old European monarchies, and it represented one of very few defeats for the glorious French army, most of whose soldiers remained devoted to their Emperor until the very end. Extraordinary though it may seem much about the Battle of Waterloo has remained uncertain, with many major features of the campaign hotly debated. Most histories have depended heavily on the evidence of British officers that were gathered about twenty years after the battle. But the recent publication of an abundance of fresh first-hand accounts from soldiers of all the participating armies has illuminated important episodes and enabled radical reappraisal of the course of the campaign. What emerges is a darker, muddier story, no longer biased by notions of regimental honour, but a tapestry of irony, accident, courage, horror and human frailty. An epic page turner, rich in dramatic human detail and grounded in first-class scholarly research, Waterloo is the real inside story of the greatest land battle in British history, the defining showdown of the age of muskets, bayonets, cavalry and cannon

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 reccht 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. Ooggetuigenverlagen van soldaten die meevochten vormen daarbij een spannend relaas en verbeelden de apocalyps van deze unieke veldslag. (bron: achterplat)
