Since its publication in 1894; Tomkinson’s unique view of the Peninsular War has influenced every serious account of the conflict. A serious soldier and gifted writer; he records every detail of the campaigns and difficulties of camp life; including Lord Wellington’s working day from six a.m. until midnight and his infamous mood swings. He pulls no punches about the atrocities committed by all sides; or in his vivid descriptions of the wounded left on the fields of Waterloo.
