Wellington's Masterpiece : The Battle and Campaign of Salamanca Hardback
by Peter Young, J. P. Lawford
Part of the Routledge Library Editions: Military and Naval History series
Hardback
Description
The Peninsular war was not only one of the great periods in British military history, it was also a war in which guerillas exerted a major influence, and as such, has continued relevance today.
Salamanca established Wellington as one of the great military commanders of any age and it is one of the battles which produced significant results.
As well as the battle the campaign contains two of the most memorable sieges ever under-taken by British arms, those of Ciudad Rodrigo and Badajoz.
This book, originally published in 1972, uses eye-witness accounts with the result that the reader can hear the principal characters explain their actions and see the battlefield through the eyes of the men who were there.
