Camden District Red Cross-1914-1945 by Ian Willis Glover's research leads him to criticise the way in which we, the Germans (Prussians) and others have claimed it was they who defeated Bonaparte. He also highlights a number of outright errors in many published accounts, for example, that Napoleon surrendered. He rightly emphasises the role that 'friction' played in the outcome, something that is so often overlooked when battles are analysed. In brief, his book is to a degree a new interpretation of the available evidence. He reminds us that, as in all battles, confusion reigned at Waterloo, and much of what took place is mere conjecture. Authors please take note. All nations played an important part in the defeat of Napoleon. Primary sources indicate, for example, that it is very doubtful if Wellington would have engaged the French at all if Blucher had not told him he would join him in opposing Bonaparte.
