Reader Reviews:
An excellent short guide to Wellington's Peninsular war. (31/32 people found this helpful)
Although this is a one volume guide to the Peninsular War, the author manages to pack in a huge amnount of information , and made this an essential guide to the planning of a trip to the battlefields, and a useful companion once there. There are references to other, more encyclopaedic authors such as Oman, and topographical information plus sketches which give the general idea of the conduct of individual battles and sieges. The topographical information is a little dated now owing to the amount of recent development in Spain and Portugal, but is still helpful if you are planning on visiting the Peninsular yourself. I have read many books on this war, and am happy to commnend this to anyone, expert or new enthusiast.
