This book tells the story of the beginning and end of the Iberian Peninsula War, an important part of Napoleon Bonaparte's foreign war, and interprets the major military operations during the Peninsular War such as the Battle of Coruña, the Battle of Busacou, the Battle of Badajoz, the Battle of Salamanca, the Battle of Victoria, and the Battle of the Pyrenees. In what name did Napoleon Bonaparte lead an army of one hundred thousand to attack the Kingdom of Spain? Why did the Spanish national salvation movement fail in the face of the French army? Why did Marshal Nicolas Jean Dedieu Soult, who had repeatedly accomplished extraordinary feats, encounter the army of Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington? How did Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington, boost the morale of European armies, break Napoleon Bonaparte's curse of victory, and let the European people see the dawn of national liberation? How did Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington, accumulate all his strength, defeat the French army, march straight to Toulouse, and finally win the Peninsular War? This book will answer it in detail.
Reader comments
This book is very interesting! It provides a detailed interpretation of the major military operations of the Peninsular War, giving me a deeper understanding of that period of history. I especially like the description of the battle in the book, it's wonderful! However, I don't really like some of the characters in it and think they are a bit too flat. Overall, this is a book worth reading and recommended to friends who are interested in history.
