The War That Drained Napoleon'S Armies And Set The Stage For His Ultimate Defeat At Waterloo.The Peninsular War In Spain And Portugal Was The Most Bitterly Fought Contest Of Nineteenthcentury Europe.

Yet The Peninsular War Was To End With Total Defeat For The French, And In 1813 Wellington'S Army Crossed The Pyrenees Into Mainland France. What Napoleon Had Called The Spanish Ulcer Ultimately Helped Bring Down The French Empire.Sir Michael Howard Of Oxford University Hailed This Book As A Major Achievement . . . The First Brief And Balanced Account Of The War To Have Appeared Within Our Generation. Illustrated With Over A Hundred Maps And Fifty Contemporary Drawings And Paintings, This Is A Richly Detailed History Of A Crucial Period In History That Resonates Powerfully To This Day And Figures Prominently In Bernard Cornwell'S Internationally Acclaimed Novels Of The Napoleonic Era.
