About This Item
Ware: Wordsworth Editions Ltd, 2000. 1st Edition. Softcover. Very good paperback copy. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered. Physical description: vii, 208 pages. : ill., maps, ports ; 25 cm. Notes: Originally published: London : Hart-Davis MacGibbon, 1973. Includes bibliographical references and index. Summary: The Peninsular War was a war of contrasts; a war fought in the icy passes of the high Pyrenees and on the burning wastes of the Sierra Morena; a war of infinite cruelty yet remarkable courtesy; a war in which debonair British officers fought alongside ragged Spanish partisans. It began in 1808 with Napoleon at the height of his power and ended with his attempted suicide in 1814. This narrative recaptures the horror, excitement and drudgery of history's first guerrilla war. Subjects: Peninsular War, 1807-1814 Campaigns. European history (ie other than Britain & Ireland) ; World history: c 1750 to c 1900. Spain. Genre: Illustrated.
