The Battles of Quatre Bras and Ligny are often overshadowed by the Battle of Waterloo that took place two days later. Yet the events of 16 June 1815 were crucial; as Napoleon missed his chance of achieving a decisive victory. Peter Hofschro[umlaut]er's authoritative guide to these two critical engagements tells the story of the campaign and investigates each battle in detail; and he takes the reader on a fascinating tour of the present-day battlefields. By skilful use of maps; photographs and diagrams; he describes the movements of the armies and analyses the thinking and actions of the commanders.

Scarcity of McBride Biographical InfoBy Nate DrayPerhaps THE underrated illustrator of the 20th century - this book is the only source of info I've found on McBride's methods. The selection of images is broad and of historical interest - though perhaps not the most compelling of McBride's work; but solid. Welcome/prized addition to my library. If you are a McBride fan or an Osprey aficionado the book will not disappoint.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
