Fletcher is THE modern authority on the Peninsular War,
By "limespider" (Littleton, CO USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Badajoz 1812: Wellington's Bloodiest Siege (Campaign Series, 65) (Paperback)
Not to take anything away from Jac Weller, who wrote some of my favorite books about Wellington, but Ian Fletcher does spend a significant portion of each year leading battlefield tours around Spain,has written numerous books about the Peninsula War specifically, and has made as his primary business the study of this period of the Napoleonic conflict. For purposes of writing the Osprey Campaign Series title about this battle there is nobody better suited.Fletcher's battlefield descriptions are up to date as he traces out the location of every British battery in relation to contemporary landmarks along with photographs detailing key points of interest. The level of detail is exactly what one has come to expect from the Osprey Campaign Series and, in addition to Badajoz, the seige of Ciudad Rodrigo is also covered in this title. For a greater level of detail than this title permits read "In Hell Before Daylight", also by Ian Fletcher. |
