New York: Osprey Publishing, 2010. First Edition. Large Hardcover. Near Fine/No Jacket. 12x10x2. First edition. Includes publisher slipcase with ribbon attached. Minor general wear. 2010 Large Hardcover. 384 pp. Colonel Nick Lipscombe, who is based in Spain and is the chairman of the Peninsular War 200 organization, has used his unique perspective to make this new edition the very best study of the subject on the market. The Peninsular War saw some of the bloodiest fighting of the Napoleonic Wars. Over a period of five years it is estimated that half a million soldiers and civilians were killed in this bloodbath, however the battles there are far less well-known than other Napoleonic battles like Waterloo. Despite the exposure given this theatre in the Sharpe novels, the soldiers who fought there have received little public recognition.
