<blockquote><p>The first duty of one who wishes to faithfully write the history of a modern-day war is to obtain the orders dispatches and reports that were&nbsp;sent and received throughout its duration. These documents in their&nbsp;entirety form what one may call the framework for the history of that&nbsp;war a cornerstone upon which the author must build his work. Previous&nbsp;historians of the 1815 campaign seem not to have been concerned with&nbsp;this necessity and have for this reason produced incomplete accounts filled&nbsp;with falsehoods the most serious of which was to accuse Napoleon of&nbsp;intentions he had never had. While it is nearly impossible to gather every&nbsp;last order dispatch and report relating to the war of 1815 one may through&nbsp;diligent research acquire as great a number as possible. Heretofore we&nbsp;have merely been aware of the few orders published by Marshal Grouchy&nbsp;based on his correspondence book and that of Marshal General Soult.&nbsp;</p></blockquote><p>Colonel Baron Stoffel wrote the above&nbsp;in 1905.&nbsp; It remains true to this day.</p><p>The&nbsp;<em>Operations of the Arm&eacute;e du Nord</em>&nbsp;:&nbsp;<em>1815&nbsp;</em>is the definitive collection of French correspondence for the Waterloo campaign.&nbsp; Thousands of pages of transcriptions - with many hundreds representing new material seen within these pages for the first time.</p><p><strong>The Concentration&nbsp;</strong>contains the daily correspondence starting with June 5 the day the first major movements to the frontier were ordered and June 12 the day before Soult began implementing the final dispositions.</p><p>The&nbsp;volumes of this series provide thousands of transcriptions of French correspondence and represent a major step in realizing Stoffel&#39;s vision.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
