Its companion was published in 2005. I don't have his double volume 1815 - The Waterloo Campaign, but they were published in 1998 and 1999 (based on a list that appears in Wikipedia). So definitely later publications. I doubt if they are rewrites and possibly more just condensed material with possibly the addition of tour guide information.<br /><br />I grew up thinking there was only British at Waterloo and the Prussians arrived too late, so there is some historical bias to overcome I expect :-)<br /><br />I should say my growing up knowledge was based on the availability of Airfix figure sets.Sun of Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07315805432481558574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430244424351512966.post-57332480295911444402015-01-13T02:35:23.311+08:002015-01-13T02:35:23.311+08:00Were these books (booklets?) later publications or...Were these books (booklets?) later publications or rewrites of Peter Hofschroer's double-volume "1815 The Waterloo campaign"? I found the second volume a few months back: "The German Victory", which gave an account of Waterloo, Plancenoit and Wavre and the final defeat of the French (including the sieges of the border forts and the operations around Paris).<br /><br />I find the author's stance more than a little partisan, but that might be just as well, given the Anglo-centric accounts to which we have become accustomed.Archduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430244424351512966.post-70751894370845683392015-01-12T21:03:24.746+08:002015-01-12T21:03:24.746+08:00I really enjoyed this book to SoYI really enjoyed this book to SoYPaulalbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03482911273863430204noreply@blogger.com
