Edward Fraser contributed a number of works on the Napoleonic period ranging from the Eagle-bearers of Napoleon to the sailors of the fleets of Nelson, Gravina and Villeneuve at Trafalgar, this volume focuses on the exploits of the soldiers who fought under Wellington in the Peninsular War between 1808 and 1814.
Artfully interwoven into a short history of the war itself, Fraser focuses on the many daring and brave exploits of the British soldiers, and their Portuguese and Spanish allies during a conflict that was described by Napoleon as the “Spanish Ulcer”. Ranging from the passage of the Douro in 1809 to the battle of Vittoria in 1814 the epic deeds are recounted in detail using the eye-witness accounts that survived; Talavera, Salamanca, Garcia Hernadez and the sieges of Badajoz and Cuidad Rodrigo are vivid colour.
A pacy, account of hard-fighting against the veteran and gallant armies of Napoleon.
