Fought on 16 June 1815 two days before the Battle of Waterloo the Battle of Quatre Bras has been described as a tactical Angloallied victory but a French strategic victory The French Marshal Ney was given command of the left wing of Napoleons army and ordered to seize the vital crossroads at Quatre Bras as the prelude to an advance on Brussels The crossroads was of strategic importance because the side which controlled it could move southeastward along the NivellesNamur roadYet the normally bold and dynamic Ney was uncharacteristically cautious As a result by the time he mounted a fullscale attack upon the Allied troops holding Quatre Bras the Duke of Wellington had been able to concentrate enough strength to hold the crossroadsNeys failure at Quatre Bras had disastrous consequences for Napoleon whose divided army was not able to reunite in time to face Wellington at Waterloo This revelatory study of the Waterloo campaign draws primarily on French archival sources and previously unpublished French accounts to present a balanced view of a battle normally seen only from the British or AngloAllied perspective
