Waterloo Betrayed: The Secret Treachery that Defeated Napoleon

Stephen M. Beckett

4.9/5 (21798 ratings)

Description:The truth behind the lies of Waterloo Discover why Napoleon really lost Waterloo, the campaign that ended it all. Now, for the first time: the revelation of a deceit so profound that it brought down an Emperor and an era… and then remained hidden for two hundred years. No longer must you trudge through pedestrian or outlandish theories—that Napoleon lost because he had hemorrhoids; because a messenger broke his leg; because there was a volcanic eruption half a world away; or because Wellington was superior, the Bravest of the Brave was suddenly too cautious, or Grouchy refused to show up. The truth is both far more complex and far more logical. It was a defeat from within. Napoleon lost due to treason… in the hands of one of his most trusted men. His ruin was meticulously crafted, a brilliant web of betrayal laced in and around the whole campaign, its strands so fine that no one saw it for two centuries. Napoleon’s plans were undermined before the first shots were fired. In fact, much of what has been written about how the French conducted this campaign is fiction. Did you know: The campaign was delayed a full day due to the unauthorized rewriting of Napoleon’s orders? Traitors enabled the Prussians to concentrate 12-hours earlier? Napoleon went to his death never having learned the actual dispositions of his left wing on June 15th or June 16th? Napoleon did issue recall orders to Grouchy on June 17th? Napoleon never said the battle of Waterloo would be as easy as breakfast? This is the book that rewrites the campaign. Finally, the suspicions of many of Napoleon’s veterans and inner circle are proved by citing the hundreds of documents that only came to light after their deaths. Presented here is the story of the French staff work in luminous detail and starting well before June 15th. There are over 100 pieces of correspondence in both the original French and translated into English; many of which have never been referenced in prior books on the campaign. Napoleon never learned the truth, but in his candid conversations in exile he revealed the extent of the deception that doomed his plans. This is not a book that (once again) retells the dramatic events of June 18th, 1815 – the Battle of Waterloo It simply tells what really happened during the two weeks prior and why the Battle of Waterloo should have never occurred.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
