Description
First volume of the Sound of History series published by Sound of Drums. Written by historian James R. Arnold, it is dedicated to the Battle of Quatre Bras on June 16, 1815, a prelude to Waterloo.
The clash, at a strategic crossroads in present-day Belgium, pitted the Anglo-allied forces of the Duke of Wellington against the left wing of Napoleon's Army of the North, commanded by Marshal Ney. Napoleon aimed to prevent the union of the Anglo-allied and Prussian forces by defeating them separately: while facing the Prussians at Ligny, he ordered Ney to take Quatre Bras to block any potential intervention from Wellington.
Initially, Ney's forces were numerically superior, but allied reinforcements arrived throughout the day. Intense fighting saw control of key positions such as Bossu Wood and Gemioncourt Farm change hands multiple times. Ney failed to secure Quatre Bras before sunset and could not support Napoleon at Ligny, where the Prussians executed a strategic retreat and remained a force capable of impacting Waterloo.
