Book excerpt: Napoleon Journal has earned critical acclaim for provocative battle and campaign studies (using translated European primary sources), original artwork and uniform illustrations, detailed color maps and orders-of-battle, reviews, travel guides, etc., celebrating the 200th anniversary of a fascinating and exciting period of history: the French Revolution and Age of Napoleon Bonaparte.Of the many acrimonious debates which have emerged in the aftermath of the battle of Waterloo, none has hurt national pride as much as accusations of cowardice regarding the performance of the Dutch-Belgian troops serving under the Duke of Wellington. Using newly translated Dutch and Belgian primary material, and statistical analysis, the facts surrounding the behavior of Bijlandtis Brigade early on the afternoon of that fateful day in June 1815 can now be separated from long-held myths.
