This book may appeal to you if you have a keen interest in military history, particularly the intricate details of uniforms, tactics, and the organisation of the Spanish army during the Napoleonic Wars.

Spanish Army of the Napoleonic Wars (3)

This volume is the third and final one covering the organisation, uniforms and weapons of the Spanish Army in Europe during the Napoleonic Wars, and deals with the period from 1812 to 1815.

Description

This volume – covering the final years of the Peninsular War 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.

Spanish Army of the Napoleonic Wars (3) is an essential read for anyone interested in the rich and complex history of the Peninsular War.
