In the course of the Peninsular War; Wellington became the most celebrated general in British history. This book offers a narrative account of the Peninsular Campaign from 1809-1814 - its victories; difficulties and set-backs. There are full-scale accounts of the four battles - Busaco; Salamanca; Vitoria and the Nivelle - in which Wellington defeated his principal opponents of the War - Massena; Marmont; Jourdan and Soult. The officers and the men who served in the Peninsula left behind them many eye-witness desciptions; and it is on these; and other secondary sources of the history of the War; that the author has based his study.
