Title: Bad History From a Bogus "Historian"
Review: For anyone to claim that the contents within Hamilton-Williams' book "enlighten" the reader is to demonstrate a very limited knowlege of Waterloo, or of Napoleonic source material. Many of the claimed sources simply do not exist, and of the ones that do, the author takes some from other historians' work. As a result, if one is to include this book in one's Napoleonic library, then it should be placed with other works of fiction. But insofar as a work of history, it is an execrable excercise resulting in nothing more than intellectual dishonesty.
