The Battle of Waterloo was one of the most dramatic and decisive battles ever fought. It marked the bloody end of the long struggle between the new ideals of the French Revolution and the established orders that had begun in 1793, and ushered in a century of peace in Europe.

It studies the neglected topic of how the Allies beyond the Rhine hampered the plans of Blücher and Wellington, thus allowing Napoleon to snatch the initiative from them.

»Denn das Genie ist ein Meteor, dazu bestimmt zu verbrennen, um sein Jahrhundert zu erleuchten.«

So beschrieb ein junger, noch gänzlich unbekannter französischer Leutnant namens Napoleon Buonaparte im Jahre 1791 in einem moralphilosophischen Essay die Rolle Alexanders des Großen.

Kometengleich ging sein Stern auf – und ebenso rasch verglühte er.
