What if Grouchy had marched to the guns? At 11:30 a.m. on June 18, 1815, Marshal Grouchy heard the unmistakable roar of massed artillery from the west. Napoleon was fighting for his life at Waterloo, twelve miles away. Grouchy had 33,000 men - a third of the French army. His subordinate grabbed his arm and begged him to turn toward the battle.Grouchy refused. He had his orders. He marched east.That evening, the Imperial Guard broke on Wellington's ridge. The French army shattered. Napoleon's empire ended in the mud of a Belgian valley.

AI Rewrites Waterloo tells the full story of the battle - then simulates what would have happened if Grouchy had turned west. The result: a forty-two-point swing in French win probability. Unlike Gettysburg, where the simulation found history was sturdy, Waterloo's simulation suggests the hinge really does swing.

From Napoleon's electrifying return from Elba to the savage fighting at Hougoumont, from Ney's magnificent and futile cavalry charges to the Imperial Guard's final climb up the ridge, this is narrative military history at its most gripping - and a simulation that challenges what we think we know about one of history's most consequential battles.

Inside you'll find:

• The complete Waterloo campaign: Ligny, Quatre Bras, the night march, and the battle itself• The Grouchy decision - fully explored, with the orders, the ambiguity, and the moment of choice.
• A complete AI simulation: nine variables, 1,000 iterations, a forty-two-point probability swing.
• An alternative timeline: June 19, 1815 in a world where the Guard didn't break.
• The honest reckoning: could Napoleon have survived even if he won?
• Leadership lessons that tie Waterloo back to Gettysburg - two battles, opposite failures, one universal truth.

The second book in the AI Rewrites History series. Each book stands alone, but together they ask the same question from different angles: when everything depends on one decision, what separates the leaders who get it right from the ones who don't?

For fans of Andrew Roberts, Alessandro Barbero, Bernard Cornwell, and Dan Carlin's Hardcore History.
