SynopsisThe Danish capital of Copenhagen was the site of two major battles during the Napoleonic Wars, but the significance of the fighting there, and the key role the country played in the conflict in northern Europe, has rarely been examined in detail. In this absorbing and original study Gareth Glover focuses for the first time on these two principal ev, The Danish capital of Copenhagen was the site of two major battles during the Napoleonic Wars, but the significance of the fighting there, and the key role the country played in the conflict in northern Europe, has rarely been examined in detail. In this absorbing and original study Gareth Glover focuses on these two principal events, using original source material to describe them from the British and Danish perspectives, and he shows how they fitted into the little-understood politics of this region during this turbulent phase of European history. The first Battle of Copenhagen in 1801 - the naval battle celebrated in Britain as one of Nelson's great victories - and the second - the British army's assault on the city in 1807 in which Wellington played a prominent part - were episodes in the continental struggle to resist the power of the French. Gareth Glover describes these events in vivid detail, quoting extensively from the recollections of eyewitnesses on both sides. His account is fascinating reading and an important contribution to the history of the period., Graphic account of the two major battles fought at Copenhagen during the Napoleonic Wars, Based on previously unpublished first-hand Accounts From the British And Danish Sides, Explains in detail the European politics and Military Strategy That Gave Rise to the Battles, In-Depth Investigation of Anglo-Danish Relations Throughout the Napoleonic Wars, Features Illustrations of Events that have Seldom if Ever Been Seen in Britain Before, Confirms Gareth Glover's reputation for Pioneering Work on the Less-Well-Known Aspects of the Napoleonic Wars Book jacket., The Danish capital of Copenhagen was the site of two major battles during the Napoleonic Wars, but the significance of the fighting there, and the key role the country played in the conflict in northern Europe, has rarely been examined in detail.
