The Book: Who Won Waterloo - The Trial of Captain Siborne

The book Who Won Waterloo has been written after nearly thirty years of study by the author Barry Van Danzig. The book is a large 12” by 8” volume with over 300 pages packed with over 170 photographs and maps of the battle.

The book sets out an historical puzzle that has lasted nearly 200 years, just what did happen on the field of Waterloo on the 18th June 1815? Did Napoleon lose the battle through his poor health and failing military mind? Or was he at his best and was beaten by a better General? Did Blucher and the Prussian arrive in the nick of time and save Wellington from defeat or had Wellington already defeated Napoleon before Blucher finally took the village of Plancenoit and outflanked Napoleon’s right flank?

The book poses these questions and offers evidence for you to consider so that you can form your own opinion as to the true events of that momentous day.

The Author: The author Barry Van Danzig is well known in the environmental industry as founder of the Wastelink and Wastepack group of companies. He is a keen family man and has been married to his wife Liz for 38 years. They have two children and three grandchildren.
