None of Napoleon's generals could succeed against the Duke of Wellington in a long series of clashes across Spain and Portugal in the Penisular campaign of 1808-1814; this epic struggle also produced unprecedented wear and tear on the uniforms of both sides; as accurately depicted in Gerry Embleton's paintings.

Review
6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Required ReadingBy John G. CakarsI was not sure what to expect from this book. I had not read any Latvian Jewish histories or memoirs. I found this book thoroughly interested and informative. The discussion about Jewish life in Kurzeme (Courland/Kurland) was enjoyable. I learned a part of history that was not covered in my Latvian Saturday classes.I would recommend this book to any Latvian and descendants of former Latvian Jews. For my emigre Latvian colleagues; you will learn something by reading this book.
