• Draws on newly discovered eyewitness accounts from Prussian sources to present new insights into the battle and new areas of combat
  
  
• Studies the battle from the unexplored perspective of General Drouet d’Erlon, one of Napoleon’s key subordinates
  
  
• Focuses on the lesser-known engagements between the French and Prussians, for which new archaeological evidence has been discovered
  
  
• Examines death certificates issued for French officers and men on the day of the battle to suggest it was not the ‘bloodbath’ it is often thought to have been
  
  
• The result of twenty years of research in archives in France and German
