Chargement... The Spanish Ulcer: A History of the Peninsular War (1986)par David Gates
![]() Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre. The Peninsular War is a unique part of the broader Napoleonic Wars. The author, David Gates, research of this theater is impressive and meticulous. He writes in great detail, about every battle and skirmish of this war even going so far as inserting maps for the larger battles fought. I love the beginning chapters explaining briefly the background events leading to this outbreak of battle; the general makeup of the armies involved; as well as the primary reasons why Napoleon lost and Lord Wellington won. The writing style is aimed at an audience that is very familiar with war terminology. Many of the maps do not have legends and the vocabulary used, such as forced march, could be unfamiliar to casual readers. Gates also assumes that the reader is familiar with the names of the primary players. This book contains wonderful information, but is a bit dry for a general audience. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

But do not get this edition, if you plan to use the book as a reference. The binding was incredibly poor, with the signatures easily torn open along the spine, and the paper is very stiff, battling the book frame you have to use to keep the thing open. I hope the following editions, and there are a number of those are physically easier to handle. (
