Product Information
A new battlefield guide to the Peninsular War is long overdue. Modern development in Spain and Portugal has encroached on many of the battlefields, new research has questioned established interpretations of events, and there is a broader appreciation of the parts played by all the armies involved - the French on one side and the Spanish, Portuguese and British on the other. Andrew Rawson, in this highly illustrated and practical guide, offers a wide-ranging, up-to-date and balanced account of this prolonged conflict, and he guides the reader and the visitor across the terrain over which the armies marched and fought. He reconstructs the major battles in graphic detail, and provides practical tours of the major battlefields and campaigns. Also included are sections examining the armies, the military organization and tactics of the time and the role of the Spanish guerrillas. This guide to the Peninsular War will be essential reading for anyone who wants a concise and accessible introduction to the conflict, and it will serve as an invaluable reference guide for visitors who want to explore the sites of the fighting two centuries ago. AUTHOR: ANDREW RAWSON has an established reputation as a versatile military historian. In addition to making a special study of the battlefields of the First and Second World Wars, he has a long-standing interest in the Napoleonic Wars, in particular the long-drawn-out conflict on the Iberian peninsula. He has written seven Battleground Europe books, including studies of the battles at Loos, Walcheren, Cherbourg, the Rhine Crossings and Bavaria. He has also written two reference books - the British Army Handbook 1914-1918 and the Vietnam War Handbook.

Very good book. Written in a clear, informative style. It gives an informative synopsis of the major engagements of Wellington's campaigns, followed by an up to date guide on visiting the site.
