Inside Wellington's Peninsular Army: 1808-1814

"This fine collaborative effort is the work of four historians … As Bob Burnham explains in his brief introduction, all four had been working on different aspects of the Peninsular army and decided to combine their separate efforts into a joint publication. Their objective was to explain "what was so special about Wellington and his army" and why it was consistently victorious during the five years the Peninsular campaign lasted. The result is an excellent book that should be in the libraries of all serious students of the Peninsular War." ~The Napoleon Series

"All the chapters offer similar nuts-and-bolts particulars about the army's structure and activity with a pronounced emphasis on details that will please the professional historian and the military enthusiast alike.…In all, this is an entertaining, well-researched, and interesting look into many of the inner workings of what became the largest British army on active operations in its history to (that) date." ~Journal of Military History
