Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Wellington's Peninsular War provides a concise and comprehensive account for use by both professional and amateur historians and which includes details of the battlefields as they are yesterday and how to find and explore them. The Peninsular War (1808-1841) was part of the twenty year struggle against Napoleon Bonaparte that involved campaigns in Europe, the Middle East, Russia, the West Indies, South America and South Africa and until 1914 was known as 'The Great War'.
The author has presented a balanced picture of the campaign and gives due credit to the Spanish and Portuguese efforts. Arranged in sections, the author starts with a review of the whole war and the background to it and follows with a complete chronological account of the war year by year. Finally a chapter on each of the major battles includes maps and photographs of the battlefields, orders of battle and instructions on how to find the battlefield yesterday and what to see there. The maps show the ground as it was at the time but also include modern features to identify where the fighting took place enabling the reader to stand where Wellington would have stood when surveying the battlefield.

Paget has produced a simple travel guide for those visiting the British battlefields on the Peninsula with battlemaps, orders of battle and some general remarks on the armies and their commanders. If you must have a travel guide I recommend Ian Robertson's WELLINGTON AT WAR IN THE PENINSULA. Paget came out of the Guards - so there you go.
