This is an excellent campaign book, and does clearly show the effect of Wellington's first offensive battle since Rolica, three years earlier. The French thought Wellington wouldn't attack, no matter what the provocation and separated themselves for an outflanking maneuver. It was a bad idea, and Wellington's timing of his attack was perfect. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
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.
