Summary:	This book presents the battle of Waterloo in a completely new and innovative format. A reference book, a biographical dictionary, and a myth-busting expose, Who was Who at Waterloo is an indispensable guide to history's most famous battle. Arranged in alphabetical order from Major General Sir Frederick William Adam to Lieutenant General Hans Ernst Karl Ziethen, and with linked cross-references throughout the text, the book boasts a colourful cast of soldiers, politicians, peasants, surgeons, artists, novelists, poets, scientists, entrepreneurs, and more. It provides many sorties into nineteenth century culture, politics, medicine and science. It also provides a thorough look at the sources, identifying myths, irregularities and cover-ups. The book demonstrates how little we can really know about Waterloo. And yet it also demonstrates just how much can be said about the battle's participants.
