About This Book

A detailed narrative of the 1812–1813 Peninsular campaigns covering the siege of Burgos, the retreat that followed, the campaign culminating at Vittoria and the subsequent Pyrenean battles. The author combines operational narrative with topographical description, orders of battle and brigade strengths, and contemporary dispatches, diaries and archival documents, supported by maps and illustrations. Strategic, logistical and leadership decisions are assessed alongside source commentary and occasional acknowledgment of limits where personal reconnaissance was unavailable.
