This work examines the Battle of Waterloo, focusing on the political and military strategies that shaped this decisive moment in European history. By framing the discussion around not just the battles of Ligny and Waterloo but also the political maneuvers involved, the text engages with broader themes of warfare, leadership, and the implications of military engagement on future political realities. The opening of the book delves into the essential relationship between military campaigns and their political objectives, arguing that the true measure of a campaign's success lies not solely in military victories but in the ability to achieve political aims. Belloc discusses the context leading up to the battle, emphasizing Napoleon's strategic decisions and the importance of understanding the troop movements and intentions of both the French forces and the Allied armies commanded by Wellington and Blucher. The narrative sets the stage for a thorough exploration of the events leading to and during the battle, inviting readers to consider the complex interplay of strategy and politics in the outcome of this pivotal conflict.
