This volume – covering the final years of the Peninsular War (1808-1814) and the long trek over the Pyrenees into France – concludes the author’s remarkable in-depth study of the army that fought alongside Wellington’s redcoats throughout the Peninsular War. Prior to 1813 it was the Spanish armies that bore the brunt of the fighting and this text – based on primary research in Spanish and British archives which will be new to most readers – fills a large and long-standing gap in our knowledge of those Napoleonic campaigns which have always fascinated English-speaking students of the period.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great book; but only for certain thingsBy James D. CrabtreeIf you are interested in the personal equipment and weapons of the typical U.S. Army soldier in France in 1944 and 1945 then this is probably the book for you. It has some awesome photos but spends a lot of time talking about this jacket versus these boots; etc. Very little information on campaigns and battles of the Third Army and doesn't list those units which served at one time or another under Patton's command.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
