Overview

A Dusty Tomes Audio BookIn Cooperation with Spoken Realms The Waterloo Campaign - A Study by Lieut.-Colonel Sisson C. Pratt. Special Campaign Series No. 5 published by Swan Sonnenschein 1907. Publisher's Preface to the Series: The ""Special Campaign"" Series deals with the history of war in its technical aspect, and the text of each volume is interspersed with strategic and tactical comments ... subsequent volumes will deal with those campaigns of the nineteenth century that present features of exceptional military interest. It is hoped that this series will not only be useful for examination purposes but may form the nucleus of an interesting library for the military student. From the Author's Preface: The centenary of the Wars of Liberation is now close at hand, and from the hitherto unpublished archives and private records that are known to exist in Germany some fresh light will probably soon be thrown on the downfall of Napoleon. This brief study of a notable campaign may be of some help to the student of the past and the historian of the future.

Reviews

""Colonel Pratt's work is an admirable one for the student of the battle who looks at it from a purely military standpoint. The author eschews sensationalism and imagination run riot, and confines himself to hard, stem facts. The Waterloo Campaign will prove useful as a text book in regard to a battle replete with military lessons."" -- ""War Office Times"" ""In compiling this excellent precis of the Waterloo campaign, Colonel Pratt has fully displayed his accustomed skill. The narrative, although necessarily condensed, embraces all the important incidents, and the comments are invariably to the point. In order to assist the careful searcher after knowledge, the author has inserted very frequent references to the various authorities from whose works his facts have been gleaned."" -- ""United Service Magazine"" ""Lieut.-Colonel Sisson C. Pratt also authored Saarbruck to Paris, 1870: A Strategical Sketch. - Selected as the Special Campaign to be read up by officers preparing for the Competitive Examinations for Commissions in the Army to be held in September, 1905, and March, 1906."" -- ""United States Gazette""
