Portugal 1808: Wellington's First Peninsular Campaign

Více o knize

Set against the backdrop of the Peninsular War, the narrative details Sir Arthur Wellesley's military campaign in Portugal following Napoleon's invasion of Spain. As Spain shifts from enemy to ally, Wellesley navigates logistical challenges and engages in key battles, including the pivotal Combat of Roliça and the hard-fought victory at Vimiero. However, the story highlights a missed opportunity for a decisive victory over the French due to the actions of other British generals, culminating in the controversial Convention of Cintra.
