With Moore to Corunna: The Diary of Ensign Charles Paget, 52nd Foot Ensign Charles Paget's previously unpublished diary of the Peninsular War is an important discovery for two reasons: The regiment in which he served (52nd Foot) was one of the three most famous in the Duke of Wellington's army, yet it is covered sparsely in the spate of memoirs, diaries and collections of correspondence generated by the conflict; and it's the only genuine diary covering the Battle of Vimeiro and the campaign of Sir John Moore. The complete text of Paget's diary is reproduced here, edited and with detailed notes and an extended introduction by historian Charles Esdaile. In order to give the reader contrasting views of episodes which Paget records, this also includes first-hand accounts written by other Peninsular veterans featuring the Battle of Vimeiro and the action at Cacabelos. $40.00 USD

Includes over 200 wartime photographs. $25.00 USD
