The Military History Geek's Guide To...The Peninsular War, Volume 2 (Bussaco, Fuentes de Oñoro and Albuera)
The Peninsular War (1808-1814) is one of the most significant conflicts in British military history. In a series of famous battles, the much-maligned British army finally proved its worth under the exceptional leadership of the Duke of Wellington.

It examines the strategic importance of the Lines of Torres Vedras; the slogging match at Fuentes de Oñoro; the First and Second Sieges of Badajoz; and, of course, Albuera - the bloodiest battle of the war.
Packed with riveting first-hand accounts from the redcoats, this book brings the battles vividly to life. Learn how it felt to storm a breach, to be chased by Polish Lancers and exchange brutal volleys of musketry with the fierce French veterans.
