Summary "The Waterloo Campaign, 1815" by William Siborne is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The book provides an in-depth and detailed examination of the events surrounding the Waterloo Campaign, including the key battles fought between Napoleon's forces and the Allied armies led by the Duke of Wellington and Field Marshal Blücher. Siborne's work is noted for its rigorous accuracy and completeness, making it a critical resource for understanding this significant conflict in European history. At the start of the book, the author sets the stage by detailing Napoleon's escape from Elba and his subsequent return to France, which reignited tensions in Europe. Siborne discusses the political atmosphere among the Allied powers as they mobilize to counter Napoleon's ambition and the strategic significance of the Belgian frontier. The opening serves to outline the build-up to the conflict, highlighting the military and diplomatic maneuvers of the various nations involved, ultimately foreshadowing the dramatic engagements that would culminate in the pivotal Battle of Waterloo.
