About This Item
United Kingdom: Greenhill Press, 2006. New book, 395 pages. This book gives and unparalleled insight into the organisation, day-to-day life and psychology of Wellington's army, focusing on the characters that Wellington believed could "go anywhere and do anything". This book examines both the leaders and the led; the daily life, manners and customs of the Peninsular Army are explored, drawing on despatches, general orders and records of court martial, and, to a greater extent, non-official information such as diaries, memoirs and letters. A great deal of literature was produced during this period, written by both commissioned and non-commissioned soldiers. For them, the campaign became a battle against the Revolution, a kind of crusade, and an attempt to thwart the "tripple-headed monster of Republicanism, Atheism and Sedition". The soldiers of Wellington's army were fighting for all that made life worth living - religion, morality, constitution, laws and liberty.. Soft Cover. As New. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
