This is a classic book from 1966. Douglas Reed was an excellent, truth-telling White journalist and author who dared to write books telling the raw truth about many things. In 1936, he was in Europe and wrote a book warning that WW2 was coming. In 1966, he was in Rhodesia, and he wrote a similar book, wherein he warned of the coming war in Africa. There are many things he wrote in this book which have been forgotten. He writes about the two-faced British and of the insanity of America.
[After the Napoleonic wars they did not engage in the hideous, abnormal Nuremberg trials that the Jewish scum foisted on the NAZIS. So most of the officers got off ok. But a few were executed. It was still a lot better and more humane than what happened to the NAZI politicians and the Wehrmacht and Waffen SS. Jan]
Marshal Ney was executed in the same year as the Battle of Waterloo, not because he was an Officer of Napoleon, but because he defected to Napoleon while acting as the minister of war for the restored Bourbon King Louis XVIII.
Joachim Murat faced a similar fate in Sicily, for his treason against the legitimate King.
Marshal Soult on the other Hand was spared this fate and even acted as Marshal of France in the restored Bourbon- and later July Monarchy, even though he served as Napoleons Chief of Staff during the Waterloo campaign.
