Product Details

Product Description

Product Description

During this period, the outcome of the war was effectively decided by Wellington's advance from Portugal into Spain. The operations that took place at this time included the French campaigns of late 1811, the Allied offensive, and Wellington's great victory at Salamanca. Other notable actions included that at Garcia Hernandez, and there were also smaller operations such as those on the east coast of Spain. Orders of battle, lists of strength and casualties, and an account of Wellington's intelligence officer and code-breaker Sir George Scovell, whose efforts contributed greatly to Wellington's plans of campaign, are given in the appendices to this volume.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent depth, captures key motives, topography, and peopl, Oct 27 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: October 1811-August 31, 1812: Valencia, Ciudad Rodrigo, Badajoz, Salamanca, Madrid (Hardcover)
If you are interested in military history this series is a tremendous education while at the same time being engrossing. Done approximately 100 years after the conflict the author travels throughout the arena of the conflict trying to describe what the battlefields look like and how the campaign and battles unfolded. A must read to understand the geopolitics of the 1800's which this conflict and the subsequent defeat of Napoleon were driven by and which shaped the next 100 years.
