Fortresses of the Peninsular War 1808-14 by Ian Fletcher. - Cranston Military Prints

Fortresses of the Peninsular War 1808-14 by Ian Fletcher.


Fortresses of the Peninsular War 1808-14 by Ian Fletcher.

In the course of the Peninsular War, Wellingtons army fought several hard battles and smaller actions, but it was the bloody sieges that troubled them more than anything else. Indeed, the performance of his army during the sieges was probably the most disappointing aspect of what was otherwise an extremely successful campaign. Taking 1808 as its starting point, this title deals with the fortress sieges that involved Wellingtons Anglo-Portuguese army, and concentrates on four key sites in particular (Cludad Rodrigo, Badajoz, Burgos and San Sebastian) All of these played a vital role in the war due to their strategically important positions. It documents both the sieges and the storming of the fortresses, as well as the general role of the fortress in Spain.
