Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents the complete record of the court martial of General John Whitelocke, an event of great historic significance. Whitelocke commanded, in 1807, an expedition of British troops sent to invade the Spanish colony of Buenos Aires during the Napoleonic Wars. The campaign ended in the humiliating surrender of British forces to the local militia. The events of this campaign and its ramifications for both the British army and its commanding general are laid bare in this volume, taken directly from the transcripts of the actual trial. Military historians and readers interested in the age of sail, imperialism, and the Napoleonic Wars will be fascinated by this in-depth look at a historic military disaster and its consequences.
