Oh please…not again.
The book might discuss their role throughout the battle, but see the title. (ignore the poor idiot on the cover trying to hold his musket that way)
This is the idea that the Guard attack was not stopped by artillery, mud, apathy, mutiny, la traison, Prussian threat, being grossly outnumbered, aliens in saucers, or even Maitland's Guards…..
But instead by Adam's Brigade…the Light Infantry 51st. 52nd and 71st, plus some lads in green, who attacked in flank.
That incredibly stupidly titled book "The Lie of W etc" actually proved really well written and researched, provided you did not reject it at a glance……as I nearly did.
Of course they contributed. The blooming Netherlands folk did, let's face it. Everyone did……
So many rubbish titles recently, even a year on from 2015. They tell us that…..
The KDG single handedly beat Napoleon, 400 men at LHS won the battle, a JFK level of conspiracy has concealed the role of 52nd, there were DBs there (actually those books proved great, but again rubbish titles……).
Add now this…….
This is the same Glover who produced the level of quality of Six Volumes of Correspondence (I have all six) but then also the "Myth and Reality" book, the tabloid version, with the cover showing Ponsonby facing Polish Guard Lancers, as in Bondarachuk……again a great book, but a rubbish cheap title.
Why do they do this? Why these ridiculous claims in the titles, as in a tabloid red top newspaper?
