Mercer's journal is the most outstanding eyewitness account of the
Waterloo campaign ever published. It is a classic of military history.
This new, fully illustrated edition, featuring an extensive introduction
and notes by Andrew Uffindell, one of the leading authorities on the
Napoleonic Wars, contains a mass of additional material not included in
the original. As the bicentenary of Waterloo approaches, this
beautifully prepared, scholarly edition of Mercer's work will be
essential reading for anyone who wishes to know what it was really like
to fight in the final, great battle against Napoleon.
