This classic account of Wellington¹s tactics and strategy in the
Peninsular War is one of the best single-volume works ever written on
the epic campaign.
Jac Weller covers all the battles with the French in which Wellington
was involved. Talavera, Busaco, Salamanca and Vitoria are among the
famous battles that he brings to life once more, with the aid of
meticulous research, extensive visits to and photographs of the
battlefields themselves, and an unwavering ability to cut a clear path
through tangled military events.
Wellington in the Peninsula brilliantly demonstrates how a great
commander finally achieved victory after six years of battle against
Napoleon¹s army.
