About the Book

Voici le récit détaillé de la plus célèbre des batailles, Waterloo, la dernière guerre de Napoléon. Les Anglais avaient bivouaqué un peu en désordre sur toute l'étendue du plateau. Eveillés au point du jour, ils commencèrent à rallumer les feux, à préparer leur repas, à nettoyer leurs vêtements et leurs armes. Au lieu de débourrer les fusils, la plupart des soldats les déchargeaient en l'air. C'était une mousqueterie continuelle donnant l'illusion d'un combat. Les grand'gardes de Napoléon étaient peu vigilantes ou singulièrement aguerries, car aucune relation française ne mentionne de fausse alerte causée par cette fusillade. Vers six heures, à l'appel discord des trompettes et des tambours, sonnant et battant de tous côtés à la fois, les troupes s'assemblèrent. L'inspection passée, bataillons, escadrons et batteries, guidés par les officiers de l'état-major, vinrent occuper leurs emplacements de combat. Pendant que les troupes prenaient leurs emplacements, Wellington, accompagné de Müffling et de quelques officiers, parcourait la ligne de bataille. Il examina en détail toutes les positions et descendit jusqu'à Hougoumont. Souvent, il braquait sa lunette sur les hauteurs occupées par les Français. Il avait son cheval préféré, Copenhague, superbe pur sang bai-brun, qui s'était aguerri à Vittoria et à Toulouse. Wellington portait sa tenue ordinaire de campagne: pantalon de peau de daim blanc, bottes à glands, habit bleu foncé et court manteau de même nuance, cravate blanche, petit chapeau sans plumes, orné de la cocarde noire d'Angleterre et de trois autres, de moindre dimension, aux couleurs du Portugal, de l'Espagne et des Bas-Pays. Il était très calme. Son visage reflétait la confiance que lui inspirait la coopération assurée de l'armée prussienne. Les ordres de l'Empereur prescrivaient que tous les corps d'armée devaient être à neuf heures précises sur leurs positions de bataille, prêts à attaquer.
