With this title, history readers have a fresh and rare experience: detailed commentary on the Battle of Waterloo now published for the first time in English. Up to the present we continue to quote military theorist Clausewitz (1780-1831) on both the definition of war and the fog of war, often without even knowing that he was a soldier himself. With this translation we can appreciate his firsthand analysis of Waterloo, often called a defining event of history, and his critique of Wellington's decisions. Wellington, too, read it, and then he hid it from view. Hofschroer, scholar of the Napoleonic Wars and frequent writer on the subject, both translates and annotates the account and then completes the picture with an order of battle and an extensive bibliography.
