Description

A concise, readable history of Wellington's classic campaigns against Napoleon's marshals in Portugal, Spain and south-west France, 1808-1814 - the campaigns which triumphantly established the international reputation of the British army and of its commanding general. The text is illustrated with detailed battle maps and more than 80 photographs and contemporary engravings, including many rare surviving uniforms; and with large-format color plates by the renowned military artist Gerry Embleton, recreating the appearance of 100 officers and men of the British, French, Spanish, Portuguese, German, and other units which clashed in Peninsular battles. The text is supported by detailed commentaries on uniform practice, and by additional tables and appendices.
