This work provides an in-depth study of an often overlooked segment of the notable Waterloo Campaign, particularly focusing on the tactical maneuvers and strategic decisions made by French Marshal Grouchy during his retreat from Wavre. The narrative explores not only Grouchy's actions but also the wider implications of these military engagements on the outcome of the campaign. At the start of the text, the author sets the stage by discussing the build-up and early operations leading to the crucial battles involving the French and Prussian forces. Kelly emphasizes the obscurity of Grouchy's retreat, providing context about the troop movements and strategies employed by both sides in the face of an evolving battlefield. The opening portion introduces key players, such as Grouchy, and outlines the challenges faced by the Prussian corps under General Thielemann as they navigate through the complexities of defensive retreats and regrouping attempts in light of a relentless French pursuit. Kelly's analysis reveals the intricacies of war strategy and the impact of leadership decisions on military outcomes. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
