Müffling is best known for his role as Prussian liaison officer in the Duke of Wellington's headquarters during the Waterloo Campaign. As such, he was one of the architects of the allied victory.

This was, however, not Müffling's only achievement. He was for much of his military career a staff officer with a speciality in cartography. His maps were used throughout the 19th century. He later became chief-of-staff of the Prussian Army, then one of the world's strongest. This made him one of the most powerful men in the world at that time.

While Müffling's memoirs give an insight into many events in this dramatic period of history, one needs to take into account the circumspect way he relates certain errors he made. For instance, the Duke of Wellington used Müffling as a conduit for misleading information to Blücher, the commander of the Prussian army, during the Waterloo Campaign. If Müffling had really been alert, Wellington would not have got away with that so easily. Müffling's account of these events show that his memory was selective.

As one of the few Prussian accounts of this period that has been translated into English, this work should be read by all people interested in it.

Blow-hard 22. Mai 2006
Von Thomas Reiter - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This work has some interest as military history, but it would primarily be interesting, in my opinion, to those who would like to read about the relations between the various allied armies (Russian, German, English) in the campaigns of 1812-1815. The author at various points served as liason with the Russian and English armies, and it was interesting to learn about the tensions and rivalries between them, and more importantly, the sovereigns. While the book also relates the purely military aspects of the campaigns, these parts of the book are generally pretty tedious, as the author's main focus is often to point out how he had been right again, or at least, how some other historian had it wrong (he often goes on for pages on a point-by-point critique of another historian's analysis of some particular battle or campaign). In short, the author comes across as a pompous blow-hard, but if you can get past that and are interested in the relations between the various allied armies and their sovereigns, you will probably enjoy this book to some degree.
