Synopsis

In 1994 Ian Fletcher published his book Fields of Fire, which was the first book to show Wellington's Peninsular War battlefields in full colour. Now, almost 20 years on, he returns with a second book, The Peninsular War: Wellington's Battlefields Revisited which shows how things have changed since 1994. The beautiful photographs cover all of Wellington's major battles, and many smaller engagements also, to show them in all their glory, from the snowy Galician mountains, to the dry, dusty plain of Salamanca, and from the low rolling slopes of Albuera to the breathtaking Pyrenees. Coming as it does in the middle of the 200th anniversary of the Peninsular War, this book is a timely reminder of one of the most successful campaigns ever fought by the British Army.

Revue de presse

Excellent colour photography. It scores highly on quality, with some stunning photographs of the wild and rugged battlefields of the war. This is a very attractive book that also gives the reader a much clearer image of the Peninsular battlefields, and that thus acts as a good companion to any general history of the war." --History of War Website
