208pp, numerous black and white illustrations throughout. In laminated card covers (with very gentle edge wear). Internally neat, clean, bright and tight. A reissue of this comprehensive analysis of the Peninsular War, first published in 1973. The Peninsular War was a war of contrasts, a war fought in the icy passes of the 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 peasants. Parkinson's narrative vividly captures the horrors, excitement and drudgery of what might be claimed as the first guerrilla war.
