Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book contains a series of letters written during the tumultuous events in Europe in 1815 after Napoleonās exile to Elba. The author, who is never named, was an eyewitness to Napoleon's return to power and to the lead-up and aftermath of the Battle of Waterloo. The letters' focus more on personal reflections and sociopolitical analysis than on military strategy or political maneuvering. Although the authorās personal biases can at times be obvious, this book nevertheless provides a wealth of firsthand information about this pivotal period in history, including the political climate of countries like France and England and the then-current state of warfare, and is a valuable primary source for anyone researching this period of history. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780259864325_0
