Waterloo: The Campaign of 1815, Volume 2
Winner of the 2019 RUSI Duke of Wellington Medal for Military HistoryWinner of the 2017 Society for Army Historical Research Templer MedalShortlisted for Military History Monthly's "Book of the Year" AwardThe first of two groundbreaking volumes on the Waterloo campaign, this book is based upon a detailed analysis of sources old and new in four languages. It highlights the political stresses between the Allies, and their resolution; it studies the problems of feeding and paying for 250,000 Allied forces assembling in Belgium during the undeclared war, and how a strategy was thrashed out. It studies the neglected topic of how the slow and discordant Allies beyond the Rhine hampered the plans of Blcher and Wellington, thus allowing Napoleon to snatch the initiative from them. Napoleons operational plan is analyzed (and Soult's mistakes in executing it). Accounts from both sides help provide a vivid impression of the fighting on the first day, 15 June, and the volume ends with the joint battles of Ligny and Quatre Bras the next day.
Arthur Verhaegen, 1847-1917
Arthur Théodore Verhaegen (Brussel, 31 augustus 1847 - Elsene, 5 september 1917) was een Belgische architect en politicus voor de Katholieke Partij.Arthur Verhaegen was een kleinzoon van Pierre-Théodore Verhaegen (1796-1862), zelf een van de stichters van de Université Libre de Bruxelles en een boegbeeld van het antiklerikale liberalisme in België.In vele opzichten werd hij de tegenpool van zijn grootvader. Hij was de exponent van een verontruste elite die zich terugtrok achter de veilige muren van neomiddeleeuwse kerken en kastelen, waaraan hij als neogotisch architect en glazenier zelf gestalte gaf.Hij engageerde zich in het antiliberale ultramontisme en volgde de wending van de Kerk n...
Mark Twain's Literary Resources
Dr. Alan Gribben, a foremost Twain scholar, made waves in 1980 with the publication of Mark Twain's Library, a study that exposed for the first time the breadth of Twain's reading and influences. Prior to Gribben's work, much of Twain's reading history was assumed lost, but through dogged searching Gribben was able to source much of Twain's library. Mark Twain's Literary Resources is a much-expanded examination of Twain's library and readings. Volume I included Gribben's reflections on the work involved in cataloging Twain's reading and analysis of Twain's influences and opinions. This volume, long awaited, is an in-depth and comprehensive accounting of Twain's literary history. Each work read or owned by Twain is listed, along with information pertaining to editions, locations, and more. Gribben also includes scholarly annotations that explain the significance of many works, making this volume of Mark Twain's Literary Resources one of the most important additions to our understanding of America's greatest author.
