885页的大砖头……
此书看亚马逊星级颇不错，不过似乎主要是赞赏其传记性，军事方面如何呢

EL的书军事方面描写比较弱，象四臂村背景人物交待很好，战斗上篇幅虽比圭达细，还是比较潦草。

几本古董 光看名字就吓死人：
The battle of Waterloo, also of Ligny and Quatre-Bras, described by the ...

那本名字最长得吓人的，就是C·凯利的书。napoleonic-literature上面有战役部分节选。书里的原始命令、数字、文告等有用资料不少，但战役写得偏于象爱国主义小说，大概是因为这是最早的详著之一，其很多夸张描写成了后世以讹传讹的老根。

也就是说那个著名的"天黑或者布吕歇尔"就是出自此书了?

这是本很不错的书，有很多鲜为人知的逸事。朗夫德与威灵顿家族有亲缘关系，查资料可谓近水楼台，难得的是她并没有过度美化威灵顿。

这段的确是很雷：
The brave Scotch division was reduced from six thousand to less than two hundred men. The sixth division had been almost destroyed without firing a gun. 11The spirits of the soldiers began to droop, and it required the utmost exertion of the officers to prevent them from yielding to despair. They disdained the idea of retreating, and were eager to be led against the foe; but thus to stand and be murdered without resistance was more than they could bear. They were tired of having nothing to occupy their attention by the dreadful roar of the artillery, the fall of their companions, and the lamentable cries of the wounded. An indifference to life was rapidly spreading through the ranks, and the British commander was in a state of the most anxious suspense, convinced that, unless the Prussians arrived within another hour, the battle must be inevitably lost. Yes, he was perfectly cool and collected; and, while one regiment continued firm at its post, he would not resign the contest. An aide-de-camp now came with the information that the fifth division was almost destroyed, and that it was impossible for them any longer to maintain their ground. 12"I cannot help it," he replied, "they must keep their ground with myself to the last man. Would to God! that night or Blucher were come."
