A History of the Peninsular War: 1807-09: From the Treaty of Fontainebleau to the Battle of Corunna v. 1 Book

Introducing the subject and many of its main players, this volume recounts the French invasion of Portugal and the forcible deposition of the Spanish royal family, the beginning of Spanish popular resistance, the arrival of the British in the Iberian Peninsula, the first victories of Sir Arthur Wellesley (the future Duke of Wellington), Napoleon's personal participation in the Spanish campaign, the French surrender at Baylen, and Sir John Moore's terrible retreat, ending with his death in the hour of victory at the Battle of Corunna. This is the definitive history of the Peninsular War by one of the greatest twentieth-century historians. It provides the background to the war and its origins and covers the early stages of the conflict. Includes comprehensive maps, orders of battle and lists of strengths and casualties.Read More
