"[In this] new series, acclaimed Napoleonic scholar Gareth Glover brings together previously unpublished material relating to the Battle of Waterloo.

Vol. 2 concerns German troops which formed the majority of Wellington's forces present at the Battle of Waterloo including those of Nassau, Brunswick, Hanover and the King's German Legion, and left a large number of first-hand accounts of their role in the battle. Early British histories of the battle have largely sidelined the achievements of the German troops, and there is a great need to provide an English version of much of the original German source material to redress the imbalance. This volume is intended to remedy that situation by publishing sixty of these reports and letters fully translated into English for the first time, giving a clearer insight into the significant role these troops played"--Publisher.
