Descripción:
New York: Osprey Publishing, 2010. First Edition. Large Hardcover. Near Fine/No Jacket. 12x10x2. First edition. Includes publisher slipcase with ribbon attached. Minor general wear. 2010 Large Hardcover. 384 pp. Colonel Nick Lipscombe, who is based in Spain and is the chairman of the Peninsular War 200 organization, has used his unique perspective to make this new edition the very best study of the subject on the market. The Peninsular War saw some of the bloodiest fighting of the Napoleonic Wars. Over a period of five years it is estimated that half a million soldiers and civilians were killed in this bloodbath, however the battles there are far less well-known than other Napoleonic battles like Waterloo. Despite the exposure given this theatre in the Sharpe novels, the soldiers who fought there have received little public recognition.

"The Peninsular War was a defining moment in British military history; among the many improvements the the campaign brought was the transformation of British military mapmaking and the flowering of a cartographical department within the newly formed Royal Staff Corps... Under the Duke of Wellington's instructions his Quartermaster General, Colonel George Murray, issued orders for these new cartographic officers to embark on a programme of sketching large parts of the Peninsula. At the end of the war, Murray proposed to the Duke of Wellington a programme of retrospective mapping of the battlefields to illustrate the operations of the British forces...
