Good price?… (smile) "When, in the late summer of 1813, Wellington's troops approached the Pyrenees to enter France, the Peninsular War was far from won. Indeed, with their French adversaries defending their own soil, months of severe, relentless fighting were to follow. In this compelling account of the closing period of the Peninsular War, Ian Robertson records the difficult and brutal fighting which so characterise this phase of a stubborn, six-year conflict. Drawing on eyewitness accounts and official despatches, Ian Robertson outlines the nature of the war as well as tracing the complicated manoeuvring and operations of the British and French armies. He describes in detail such hard-fought actions as at Sorauren, the Nivelle and the last great battle of the war at Toulouse, as well as some less-well-known clashes in the unforgiving terrain of the Pyrenees. For Wellington, as well as his men, the campaign in France was a test of stamina and endurance in hostile territory, and fighting an implacable and energetic foe. Wellington's troops fought hard to win their crown of victories and bring the war to a successful conclusion" link See here link Amicalement Armand |

I don't know if it is a good price or not, but I found my copy to be extremely informative and level. I learned a great deal from the read, which is getting harder and harder to say these days. Thanks. |

For a hardback book that's about 300 pages, doesn't seem unreasonable. The price of a couple of Osprey books. I've read of the events from Oman's writings, not sure what more ground there is to cover. |
