Napoleon won his final
victory on 16 June 1815 at Ligny, shortly before suffering a
crushing defeat at Waterloo. Facing two enemy armies, Wellington’s
Anglo-Allied and Blücher’s Prussians, he aimed his main attack
against Blücher at Ligny and diverted Wellington’s attention by
engaging his forward elements at Quatre Bras. The Eagle’s Last
Triumph is the single most comprehensive examination of this vital
aspect of the 1815 campaign, providing a cogent and lucid
explanation of why Napoleon, victorious at Ligny, met with utter
defeat just two days later at Waterloo.
