About this product

Product Information

Wellington's Peninsular War provides a concise and comprehensive account for use by both professional and amateur historians and which includes details of the battlefields as they are today and how to find and explore them. The Peninsular War (1808-1841) was part of the twenty year struggle against Napoleon Bonaparte that involved campaigns in Europe, the Middle East, Russia, the West Indies, South America and South Africa and until 1914 was known as 'The Great War'. The author has presented a balanced picture of the campaign and gives due credit to the Spanish and Portuguese efforts. Arranged in sections, the author starts with a review of the whole war and the background to it and follows with a complete chronological account of the war year by year. Finally a chapter on each of the major battles includes maps and photographs of the battlefields, orders of battle and instructions on how to find the battlefield today and what to see there. The maps show the ground as it was at the time but also include modern features to identify where the fighting took place enabling the reader to stand where Wellington would have stood when surveying the battlefield.

  • A Great Read

    A comprehensive description of the battles and strategy of the Peninsular War, told in a very readable way. A must if your interests are in the war itself or an insight into Wellington or just a general interest in British ( & French) Military history. One slight criticism is that I would have liked some more detail in the map or separate maps for each major phase.

  • An excellent book for an insight to the complications of war at that time in history.

    Having read most of the Sharp novels by Bernard Cornwell where he mentioned this book as providing detail and interest which was useful in compiling the many stories in his books. I have found it very interesting and enjoyable and an easier read than expected.
